The Boone and Crockett Quantitative Wildlife Center (QWC) is composed of graduate students, postdoctoral research associates, undergraduate researchers, and faculty in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Michigan State University. The Center was established in 2014 under the leadership of William Porter, who served as Boone and Crockett Chair of Wildlife Conservation at MSU from 2010 until his passing in 2020. Dr. David Williams is currently the Interim Director of the Center.  

The mission of the QWC is to address the challenges facing wildlife conservation through innovations in analytical design, and to prepare for future challenges by training the next generation of wildlife scientists and conservation leaders. We draw on strengths in quantitative sciences, ecology, communication, and leadership to develop new tools needed to solve today’s problems. We emphasize educational experiences that prepare the next generation of scientists and leaders to be strong, capable advocates for wildlife.
