This past semester, Fall 2015, was an amazing one and was highlighted by the addition of twelve new members initiated into the Cal Epsilon Chapter.

The Florida chapter’s first speaker of the semester was Dr. Chris Mortensen who spoke to us about the threat of the Sixth Mass Extinction our planet is currently experiencing.

This past fall semester, the Florida Chapter was fortunate enough to hear from a wide variety of speakers. From Conservationists, to Pharmacists, to Entrepreneurs, we learned a lot about the vast opportunities being involved in agriculture can bring.

The Florida chapter is hard at work to raise money to meet our Nationals fundraising goal!

On October 22nd the University of Puerto Rico celebrated its annual Breast Cancer Awareness March or “Marcha Rosada”, which translates to “Pink March”. Our new committee members marched while holding up AZ’s coat of arms with great pride.

During the Fall 2015 Semester Finals Week, our chapter encouraged and uplifted students in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences by passing out “goodie bags” to students, professors and faculty members who were preparing for finals week.

In the spirit of demonstrating that Puerto Rico’s AZ Chapter is alive and kicking, here is the the first of the series of blog posts summarising the chapter’s fall semester.

Ohio State's AZ chapter partners with the Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers Association to enhance the knowledge of AZ members.

What better way to prep for finals than getting some delicious gelato!
