Posted: 9:57 PM- Students interested in working with animals in zoological or environmental fields can get a chance to experience that work first hand at the Hogle Zoo's first-ever Career Day.
At the event, which runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 17, middle school, high school and college students can talk to environmental educators, meet with field biologists and observe Hogle's animal care staff in action. Some staff members will speak about how they built their careers, and information will be available on a variety of other zoo-related jobs.
The fee is $10 per person. All students under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult chaperone. No pre-registration is required for this event, but participants must check in at the event table to receive an event pass.
