Good Afternoon,
As many of you may know AgReserves, Inc. (ARI) will be visiting our campus November 8-9. They will hold a general information session on Nov 8 at 7:00 p.m. in Benson 287 and immediately following the information session they will schedule internship interviews for the next day. We are excited about the opportunities available to our students. Last year ARI was blown away by our students’ interest. We would like to match or surpass that interest with this year’s visit. In so doing, I would like to ask your help in spreading the word to all students in your classes and within the Agribusiness, Plant and Animal Sciences department.
Attached are two posters sent from ARI for reference. I also printed a few copies in color and will try to get those out to as many of you as I can.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
