Alumni Advise Undergrads on Career Choices

The annual Animal Science Alumni Career Symposium was held on March 2, 2002, at the Recreation Pool Lodge.  Alumni came to campus to meet with current undergraduates to discuss career opportunities in the animal sciences. The symposium was planned and executed with the help of Ria de Grassi (B.S., ‘83; M.S., ‘87), who sees the event as a way to give back to the department and programs that led her to a rewarding career. As in previous years, the symposium was preceded by a breakfast at the University Club lounge where visitors and faculty renewed old acquaintances. Speakers at the event , all UC Davis graduates, included Paul Martin (B.S., ‘65) , Marlies Boyd (B.S., ‘83; M.Ed., ‘89), Kathleen Hoenow (B.S., ‘94), and Mary Biesiadecki (B.S., ‘89; MAM, ‘95; DVM, ‘96).
