Buff Branding
The Freshman class of 2026 enjoyed a luncheon and faculty introductions during the Buff Branding 2022 event.
Students were directed, by major, to either the Natural Sciences Building or the WTAMU Bain Event Center Building at the Ag Complex.
At each location, students met and talked with faculty and upperclassmen students
in their majors.
Between both locations, there were about 400 total students who were hosted for lunch!

Megan Eckhardt, Panelist
American Meat Science Association
| |
|
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) hosted a quarterly student-led webinar for fellow AMSA student members. Megan Eckhardt, Ph.D. Agriculture, served
as a panelist on this webinar, aiming to provide students tips and information
for applying and securing internships based on her own experiences.
Numerous AMSA members from across the nation
attending various colleges and universities sat in on the webinar.
The goal for this event was to allow selected student panelists to give their testimonies about their internship experiences, as well as highlight other possibilities and opportunities in various sectors of the meat industry. Attending students were able to ask questions and gain valuable information and tips for securing and successfully completing
internships from the panelists.

William Norwood and Dr. Colaizzi working on an Experimental Plot. | |

William completed an internship at the USDA-Agricultural Research Services (ARS) Conservation and Production Research Laboratory (CPRL) in Bushland, TX. While interning, William learned skills in remote sensing installations for environmental monitoring, governmental research procedures for quality control and assurance of data management, and statistical modeling utilizing Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software. William's capstone project with the USDA-ARS CPRL is on calculating crop evapotranspiration from vegetated surfaces using infrared thermometers for crop water-use efficiency,
an essential component of sustainable agriculture.
William's advice to students pursuing an Environmental Science degree:
"Learn and experience the different environmental sciences opportunities
on and off campus to help guide you in your career path."

A Moment With Mrs. Bachman | |
Pond's Ponder
This past Friday we celebrated the awarding
of over $500K in scholarships to students
with majors in Agricultural Sciences.
We are thankful for our donors as described by
Booker T. Washington over 100 years ago.
"The most useful and influential people in America are those who take the deepest interest in institutions that exist
for the purpose of making the world better."
