TO:  UWRF Colleagues



RE:  Off-Campus, 
University-Sanctioned 
Event



FROM:  David Trechter, 
Department of 
Agricultural Economics



The Agricultural 
Economics Department and 
our student club (the 
Agricultural Business 
and Marketing Society) 
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: Departing 
campus, May 1, 2014 at 2 
p.m.



Activity:  Field trip to 
Rahr Corporation to tour 
their malting facility 
and meet with their 
management.



Academic Rationale for 
Absence: This field trip 
will expose students in 
our club to another 
career possibility and 
give insights into a 
specific supply chain.  
It will also create an 
opportunity to explore 
interest on the part of 
Rahr Corporation for 
summer interns from UWRF.

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.
