announcement: Approved 9.13.17
September 13, 2017
TO: UWRF Colleagues
RE:   Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
FROM: Sylvia Kehoe, Department of Animal and Food Science
The Animal and Food Science Department is sponsoring an off-campus activity and a student in your course might miss class time. The offices of the Provost and the Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs require that students provide this notice to you no later than one week prior to their scheduled activity to be in compliance with appropriate policies. Your consideration in allowing them to complete course assignments and work in compliance with these university’s policies* is appreciated. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Additional details are below.
Dates & Times: Monday, October 2 – Thursday, October 6
Activity: Lacey Nelson will be helping man the UWRF CAFES booth at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI.
Academic Rationale for Absence: World Dairy Expo is a chance for students to network with people   in the industry, contact future internship and jobs, and explore the products and animals in the dairy industry. The UWRF booth needs to have someone present to answer any questions about the University, CAFES, and Department of Animal and Food Science. Prospective students appreciate having a chance to talk to a current student and Lacey will do a great job at that.

8.2.11 University Sponsored Off-campus Activities and Field Trips: Students will not be penalized for missing class in order to participate in University sanctioned events. If class attendance is a requirement, missing a class in order to participate in a University-sanctioned event will not be counted as an absence. Such absences do not relieve the students of any of their class responsibilities (e.g., homework, exams, lecture notes, etc.). Students are responsible for completing course requirements that are due on the dates of University-sanctioned events per prior agreement with the instructor. A University-sanctioned event is defined to be any extracurricular event (e.g., educational field trips or conferences, theatrical performances, intercollegiate athletic contests, musical performance or tours, etc.) as approved by the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.
