Buckeye Buzz: December 14 - 20, 2020

 APPLY NOW for the AFA Animal Institute or AFA FOOD INSTITUTE.

Deadline is January 27, 2021.

Once selected to attend an Institute, the only cost to the student is travel. AFA and its partners cover hotel, meals and event material costs.

AFA Leader Institutes provide undergraduate college students like you with the career direction and professional development you need to confidently navigate your new careers in food and agriculture.

From personal connections to gaining a better understanding of career paths and knowledge of what's new in agriculture, these programs will set you up for career success.

After discussion with student leaders about how best to promote wellness, the university will expand instructional breaks during the spring semester. The first of these two-day breaks from classes will take place Feb. 23-24. The second will be March 31-April 1. These will replace the previously announced single-day instructional breaks. While we hope students can use these days to relieve some stress, we want to re-emphasize the importance of following COVID-19 safeguards — particularly limiting travel — should current conditions continue.

Please note several other adjustments related to adding these instructional breaks for wellness:

• On April 2, Wednesday classes will meet instead of Friday classes. This conversion day will ensure that classes that meet on Wednesdays have the same number of sessions (14) as every other class day over the course of the semester.
• The addition of these days will change the end of the semester. April 23 will now be the final day of spring classes, and final exams will take place from April 26-30.

The full academic calendar is posted on the University Registrar website.
