K-STATE FAMILY & FRIENDS REUNION: This is a reminder to register for the ASI Family & Friends Reunion, which will occur on Saturday, October 7. This is a great opportunity to get reacquainted with those you have not seen in a while, visit with other members of the ASI family, and interact with the many students, graduate students, alumni, and stakeholders that will be in attendance! We are recognizing Larry Corah with the Don L. Good Impact Award as the highlight of the evening.
Please RSVP to Katie at katiesmith@ksu.edu if you and/or your family will be able to join us by Wednesday, September 27. f you are unsure if you have RSVP’d, please send a note to Katie to confirm.
We look forward to seeing you at this special departmental event hosted by the Livestock and Meat Industry Council and ASI to celebrate across the spectrum of those involved in the animal and food sciences.
CELEBRATE AG DAY BOOTH: Thank you to Rachel Stadel, Maci Mueller, David Grieger and Nicholas Dias for hosting the ASI booth in Bramlage for the AG Day Football Game on Saturday, September 23. There were around 30 booths around the concourse – the big crowds were around the ASI booth. Visitors learned about eggs and shell color, took a test on animal sciences, and followed the reproductive process from viewing sperm in a microscope to learning how to detect a pregnancy in our cow palpation model.
Extend your thanks to Dave Nichols and Tim Carson for the aid they provided to the event planners of the University’s (President and Dean) event to Celebrate AG at the Stout Center on Friday night.
CELEBRATE AG DAY SUMMIT: K-State Animal Sciences & Industry participated in the Celebrated Ag Day Summit hosted by the College of Agriculture. High school students were able to explore programs through a program fair and attend workshops throughout majors in the College of Agriculture. The ASI Department hosted a workshop on Animal Protein vs. Alternative Proteins, Innovation in the Swine Industry and Animal Unit Tours. Thank you to Mason Prestor, Dr. Bob Goodband and Kristen Kahler for helping with the sessions.
