National SASES Meetings

In November, 13 members traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the National SASES Meeting. For those that don’t know: SASES stands for Students of Agronomy, Soils, and Environmental Sciences. It is kind of like a big national agronomy club! 

During our time at SASES, we did tours of local Utah scenery and agriculture, which I always find really interesting to see how agriculture is a part of different cultures and locations across the United States. We also competed in various contests such as crops judging and quiz bowl. Other members completed contests. 

SASES is such a fun experience: you get to meet many new friends from different universities across the United States, you can compete in contests to showcase your experiences in your internships and research, and attend different guest speaker contests to learn about hot topics in the industry. 

If anyone is interested in attending this conference during your time at Purdue, I would highly recommend! It’s a great experience!
