ASI & FDSCI Welcome Back Tailgate: The 12th annual ASI and FDSCI Student Welcome Tailgate was hosted last week on Weber Lawn. We had about 275 in attendance and served 225 hamburgers, 130 brats, dipped 9 gallon of ice cream. Attendees enjoyed music by “Too Many Degrees” and had the chance to interact with faculty, staff, graduate students and undergraduate students. Thanks to Dr. Mike Brouk for coordinating the event and for faculty who led and participated in the breakout groups with students. Also, a big thank you to those who helped with set up, preparing and serving food, and cleanup.
