TO:  UWRF Colleagues
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”): October 17 to 21st with individual students leaving at different points in the week as listed on page 2. Students will be absent from class starting at 8:00 a.m. on the day listed. All students will return to class starting at 8:00 a.m. Monday, October 24.
Activity: National FFA Convention and Expo and the National Agricultural Education Conference and ATA Conclave in Indianapolis, IN.
Academic Rationale for Absence: This week-long event provides our students’ opportunities to compete in discipline related competitive events, attend professional development events, meet with potential employers regarding internships and future employment opportunities, and network with peers, educators, government leaders and employers from across the country.  Furthermore, a number of these students are or will be serving in leadership roles associated with this event.  This National event brings together over 50,000 high school and collegiate students from across the country, and for many of our students is the culmination of more than 5 years of work and preparation.  As this is a week-long event, UWRF students will be attending at different times as indicated below.  Thank you for your support for this off-campus educational activity!
