Hello all,

I just received an update form Julie Poyzer of Career services about the field trip to the labs of Agricultural Research Services in St. Paul.

Suggested dates are:

Friday, November 11th

Friday, December 2nd

Friday, December 16th (last day of finals) - hopefully a lot of you may be done with finals to enjoy a tour.

Let me know your thoughts. Also, you can give me some other possible dates if the above don't work.

Thanks,

Bram

Hi Bram,

Here is the website that you can forward to your students. http://www.ars.usda.gov/main/main.htm. Also, here is the link where it mentions multiple career opportunities within science. http://www.ars.usda.gov/careers/docs.htm?docid=11779

They plan to do a small presentation and a tour of their company. Sounds like they have a lot of opportunities . They also have laboratories as well. I am currently learning more about ARS as well. It looks like they do a lot of research related to products, enviroment, food, medicine, etc. Just a lot of different opportunities. I am excited myself just to learn more about it.

Greetings,

Bram
