FROM:  Tim Buttles, 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”): Tuesday, March 7 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Activity: Serve as judges for the MN FFA Region 8 Parliamentary Procedure and Conduct of Chapter Meetings Leadership Development Events held at Zumbrota-Mazeppa High School
Academic Rationale for Absence: Judging these contests allow UWRF students to learn more about the scoring processes used in these contests and network with agricultural education teachers. This is a service learning project assisting FFA members to develop skills in effectively conducting business meetings and utilizing parliamentary procedure.
