Department of Animal Science Preparing for Graduate Student Competition

On Tuesday, March 10, the Department of Animal Science will host the 2015 Paul Noland Graduate Student Award Competition. The competition will begin at 2 p.m. at the Pauline Whitaker Animal Science Center. Professor emeritus Paul Noland joined the Animal Science faculty in 1951 and in 1988 became department head, a position he held until his retirement in 1994. He was mayor of Fayetteville and a member of the city's board of directors.

Created in honor of Noland's 90th birthday, the competition will judge students in three areas: abstract, oral presentation and curriculum vitae. One master's student and one doctoral student will be awarded a travel stipend to apply toward travel to regional/national conventions where they are presenting research. The winners will also be the Outstanding Animal Science M.S. and Ph.D. student.
