RE:  Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
FROM:  Dr. James C. Graham, Agricultural Education Department
The Agricultural Education 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 (“activities should not be scheduled during the final exam period or one week prior to final examinations”): Tue., Nov. 7 leaving at 11:00 a.m. for Shawano High School, Thur., Nov. 9 leaving at 12:15 p.m. for Tomah High School, and Thur., Nov. 16 leaving at 10 a.m. for Mayville High School
Activity: Conduct Parliamentary Procedure Workshops
Academic Rationale for Absence: These workshops allow UWRF students to further develop their leadership skills. This is a service learning project assisting Wisconsin FFA members to develop an understanding of how to conduct business meetings and understand parliamentary procedure effectively.  These workshops allow UWRF students a continuation of their classroom learning as teacher candidates in agricultural education.  Specific outcomes include assessing and critiquing student performance; engaging learners; and providing feedback.  Moreover, this event fulfills one component of the agricultural education goal of student service to the professional community.  Furthermore, these students are gaining valuable connections of networking with professionals in the field of agricultural education. Thank you for your support for this off-campus educational activity!
