Resource Conservation Workshop
The Resource Conservation Workshop is a week of intensive study requiring student attention and participation in a wide range of conservation topics. Students are housed in NCSU campus dormitories under the guidance of Live-in counselors. In order to achieve success, students should come prepared to apply themselves to meet the primary objective of this workshop - learning about natural resources and their management in today's environment. Awards and scholarships are presented to students who exemplify high test scores, leadership, interest and initiative throughout the workshop.
