Under a clear blue sky and temperatures easing into the mid-nineties, members of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources' Dr. Bill Bennett Student Success Center hosted their annual Ag Fest Thursday (Aug. 30) at the Department of Animal and Food Sciences' Livestock Arena. Numerous student organizations within CASNR were represented, as well as opportunities to speak with university guests and representatives. The program was accompanied by a live country-and-western band and hamburger dinner. Members of CASNR's Student Success Center on hand included Cindy Akers, Associate Dean for Academic and Student Programs; Stephanie Legako, Academic Specialist for Student Retention; College Recruiter Shelbey Havens; and Coordinator of Diversity Everardo Macias. Also participating in the program was Ag Council President Alyssa Soles (large photo, left), a junior agricultural communications major from Sweetwater.
