CASNR week events begin April 8
BY KALEE OLSON, IANR NEWS SERVICE
"Sowing Success" will be a well-known phrase around the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources as students and faculty celebrate CASNR Week April 8-13.
The seventh annual celebration on UNL's East Campus will recognize students and faculty for hard work and give students and faculty a chance to interact with the community.
"CASNR Week is a great opportunity for the university community to come together and celebrate the endeavors of the college," said Kyle Jackson, a sophomore environmental studies major from Bassett, Neb., and publicity chair for CASNR Week.
The college's accomplishments are acknowledged at the annual recognition banquet for students, parents and faculty at 6:30 p.m. April 9. The banquet will feature motivational speaker Rhett Laubach from Edmond, Okla. Laubach operates YourNextSpeaker LLC, which provides leadership resources for individuals and organizations.
Activities will begin at 10 a.m. April 8 with a two-mile fun run/walk across East Campus. Prizes will be given for each of the two categories, one for students and one for faculty, staff and community members.
A pancake feed will follow the fun run. Free-will donations will be collected for Maria Quijada, a former employee of Burr and Fedde residence halls who contracted the West Nile Virus.
The week also will feature a community night on April 10 from 5-7 p.m. Students and parents from Hartley, Huntington and Clinton elementary schools and the Ruth Staples Child Development Lab are welcome to attend, along with elementary age students of CASNR students, staff and faculty.
