Ag Field Day

Just a quick reminder that this Saturday is the 89th Annual Ag Field Day. It is a great chance to catch up with other alums, the faculty, and our current students. The School has a website up with a full list of activities (http://agfieldday.rutgers.edu/events.asp) but I thought a few were worth mentioning.

1) Our highlight every year is, of course, the daylong open house at Blake Hall. We'll have up new student work with both students and faculty around to give tours to prospective students and interested parties. Make sure you check out the giant model of Paterson, NJ in the upstairs back studio. We'll have our list of alums who we've lost touch with, hoping that other alums can help us find them again. And we'll have lots of stories and news to share.

2) My second home on campus, the Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis, is holding an open house from 10 to noon. We'll be giving away posters and showing off high-tech mapping toys.

3) The Marine Science program is showing their highly acclaimed IMAX film on the somewhat smaller screen in the Alampi Room at IMCS. "Volcanoes of the Deep" is showing at 10am with the lead researcher there to introduce it and answer questions. It is a fascinating film and yet another RU product to be proud of.

It'll be a great day that we look forward to sharing with you.
