A FREE dinner will be provided for registered participants and an opportunity to win some great giveaways, such as iPads, briefcases, professional clothing gift cards and other items to prepare you for the professional world. Take advantage of this free opportunity to pass up your competition and get one step closer to your dream job or internship!

Experience OSU for a Day Hosts Needed
Do you enjoy sharing your passion for Ohio State with others? Would you be willing to show high school students what it is like to be a Buckeye? The “Experience OSU for a Day” (EOFD) Program allows prospective students to get a feel for what college is really like. These students visit CFAES frequently, and we are in need of volunteers to show these students around campus when they come to visit.
EOFD Hosts volunteer to have prospective high school students shadow them from 9:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. for 1-2 weekdays each semester. Hosting is very flexible and can be adjusted to fit your schedule. Hosts are encouraged to take their shadow(s) to see various classrooms, the Oval, the Union, a room in Norton House, and to eat lunch at Parker Dairy Store (lunch is free for the host and shadow). To sign up, simply fill out the form at http://go.osu.edu/eofd-hosts. If you have questions, feel free to contact Gary Klopfenstein atklopfenstein.40s@osu.edu.
Recognition Banquet Committee Applications Available
Every year students across CFAES campus come together in the spring to recognize all that our college has accomplished at our annual College Recognition Banquet. This recognition program would not be possible without the help of students like you who come together to plan and prepare this banquet.
There are six sub committees to apply for: atmosphere and ambience, food and menu, production, program, public relations and soliciations. To apply, visit go.osu.edu/steering-committee-application to access the application. Any questions can be directed to co-chairs Daniel Grayless or Ryan Alu. The application deadline is October 9, 2015 at 5pm.
Logo Design Contest
In preparation for the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Smith-Hughes Act, the National Council for Agricultural Education is announcing a logo design contest. This contest is open to students currently enrolled in K-12 and post-secondary agricultural education and related programs (e.g. agricultural communications, agricultural leadership) with cash prizes provided for the top three designs ($500, $300, & $200).
Please use the attached announcement with interactive link to encourage your students to submit entries as either individuals or design teams. Full contest rules and guidelines can be found on
The Council’s website.
