Next, they prepared a club charter application for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.studentsofeckerd.org\/\">Eckerd College Organization of Students<\/a>, which governs all new campus clubs. After chartering in the fall, Forys suggested they also apply for Audubon Chapter status, and the group was admitted in February.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are now one of about 100 student Audubon Society Chapters in the U.S. Membership is free, and National Audubon does do a lot to support these chapters,\u201d Forys explained in her announcement of the achievement. \u201cThe students have a lot of things planned for the campus\u2014from bird walks and contests, to more advocacy and policy work. I think it is a very good thing for the College.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For this new Audubon network chapter, the co-presidents and officers (KT Thanner, a first-year student from Essex, Maryland; Aarushi Gandhi, a first-year student from Bangalore, India; and Olivia Spicer, a junior <a href=\"\/environmental-studies\/\">environmental studies<\/a> and <a href=\"\/biology\/\">biology<\/a> student from Indianapolis, Indiana) will be able to take advantage of the organization\u2019s onboarding workshops and much more. Resources include recruiting materials, conservation tool kits, the Audubon on Campus Team as a source for information and support, quarterly Community Calls, several webinars and an intercampus <a
