As I reflect on three years in the “front office,” it seems nearly impossible that this amount of time has passed. Then again, there is never a dull moment in the Division of Animal Sciences, and you quite literally have no time for grass to grow under one’s feet (not because of the past two years of drought either). This is a special place to work. I thought it a truly special place to learn in the early 90’s, and though my hair (and beard) have some gray, I still ride for the brand with vigor. From the students to staff to…

They have different interests and career goals, so I…

How rewarding is it to work with students in the natural resource science and management degree program? I love it! I love relating to the students through my nerdy office décor and being interested in what they are interested in. I also feel like my faculty and students are so kind and down to earth. Even if I don’t feel competent in the position, the students are appreciative of my help. I feel like I get to help them and see fruits of both their labor and my own. Many times I get to help them…
