One step above the rest students can easily be found at the University of Arizona. but seldom do you find one ' s that make such an out- standing impression as Tamara Rice has. Tamara is a senior majoring in Wildlife and Fishers Science. This May she will be graduating with her bachelor of science degree. Tamara came to the University of Arizona from Stockton, Cali- fornia. When she first arrived she had not decided what to study. She says that the U of A first introduced her to the field. Also. Tamara ' s love for the out- doors and animals lead her into this field. Upon graduation Tamara hopes to work for the US Fish and Wildlife Society. Although, Tamara is considering becoming a graduate student. There are many other jobs that a person with this type of degree could enter. For example, you could work for the Game and Fish Department as a wildlife man- ager or wildlife specialist. Any limit in this field comes for the person itself. Relocating c an be a very important part of finding a job. Remote areas such as Alaska are very popular regions to study animal life. In addition, to Tamara ' s studies she is involved in intramural sports. She participates in vol- leyball and is Vice-President of the Wildlife Society.
