Department to Host Animal Science Day
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center will play host to its first Animal Science Day celebration on Friday, Nov. 21.
Activities will begin at 5 p.m. with Meet the Farm Animals and the Carnival Game Gallery. Other entertainment includes a dog costume contest, natural horsemanship and dog agility demonstrations, and an Old Timers livestock-judging contest that concludes at 9 p.m.
“The goal of this event is to encourage the alumni, emeritus faculty and staff and friends of the department to stay involved,” said Michael Looper, head of the Department of Animal Science. “It provides our alumni with an excellent reason to come to campus for the Ole Miss game weekend.”
Admission is free, and a concession stand offered by the department’s student clubs will be serving food. Everyone is invited to attend. A detailed schedule is available on animalscience.uark.edu.
