Friends of ORCA

As a student organization, ORCA depends on the generosity of the community as well as professionals within the field of animal behavior and training. We have been tremendously fortunate to host many of the top professional within the field to share their knowledge with ORCA and the public. 

Lectures
ORCA would like to thank the great guest speakers of the ORCA lecture series whose knowledge of animal behavior and training has enlightened and educated us:

Bob Bailey- 2005, 2009
Barbara Heidenreich- 2005
Steve White- 2006, 2009
Dr. Murray Sidman- 2006
Ken Ramirez- 2007, 2009
Kay Laurence-2008, 2009
Alexandra Kurland-2008, 2009
Steve Martin-2009

We would also like to thank all those who have supported ORCA by attending one of the ORCA lecture series. Your interest and enthusiasm in animal behavior and positive training techniques encourages us to disseminate our knowledge of reinforcement contingencies with animals.

Donations
ORCA would also like to thank the Arthur C. Kootz Foundation. For the past two years the Arthur C. Kootz Foundation has collectively donated $1,000.00 which has helped ORCA bring speakers to UNT, send ORCA members to national and international conferences to present their research, as well as establish this website. Their generosity is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
