Ensuring Your Future A Guide for Student Success in Career Placement
All CASNR students are encouraged to participate in the College=s Ensuring Your Future program, document their accomplishments with their student portfolio and submit a completed portfolio to the Dean=s Office to receive a Dean=s Certificate of Recognition. The CASNR Commitment
Our Guarantee: The College will guarantee that any CASNR graduate, who completed the Ensuring Your Future program and actively sought employment, will receive at least one job offer relevant to their academic program within the first six months following graduation. If the student does not receive at least one offer, the College will pay for any class that is considered necessary for the student to be more employable. Career Services will maintain credential files, administer an active resume referral service, post job openings, provide help with resume and interview preparation, and arrange interviews with employers who are recruiting UNL students. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Domestic animals have, throughout history, provided humans with a major source of food, fiber, pleasure and companionship. The livestock industry and related fields are a major component of the United States economy and career opportunities are excellent for both men and women trained in animal science. Students in animal science will receive a firm background in the biological and natural sciences. This foundation is essential for understanding the principles of animal breeding (genetics), reproductive physiology, nutrition, meats and muscle biology, growth and mammary physiology, genetic engineering/molecular biology, and management of livestock species and companion animals. Check out the following website for career paths and salaries of recent graduates. http://www.unl.edu/careers/careerguide/ansci.shtml HOW TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN ANIMAL SCIENCE..... $ Animal Science Undergraduates Blackboard - Watch this site for announcements related to

Great Ways to Learn Beyond the Classroom! Check out all the following at: http://animalscience.unl.edu/web/anisci/anscundergraduateacademicandcareerdevelopment $ Animal Science Student Jobs
A large number of undergraduate students work part-time for the Animal Science Department while attending college. Jobs are available for students through the Federal Work-Study Program or through the Animal Science Department directly. Currently, students work in several areas of the department, including the animal handling units, ruminant nutrition lab, meats lab, small animal research lab, physiology and genetics labs, clerical office, and several of the units at the Agricultural Research and Development Center (ARDC) located at Mead, NE. If you are a UNL student interested in a part-time job in the Animal Science Department, please contact Deb DeWald in C203 or email her at [email protected] .
$ Experiential Learning
Description: Experiential learning involves interaction with professionals in production units, allied industry organizations, research laboratories, classroom teaching or extension education.
This type of experiential learning generally is associated with activities where students work cooperatively as teams or individually with other professionals to conduct special projects. A maximum of 3 credits from any one of the following sections may be applied to the 4 hour experiential learning requirement. Several opportunities are available for students to gain value "hands-on" experience to complement their formal classroom courses. See adviser for advice on the many possibilities and suggested faculty contacts for your area of interest. Following are examples of some opportunities and faculty contacts. 1. Meat Investigations (ASCI 419)
Students interested in conducting independent research or study meat industry problems in processing, production, storage, and preparation of meat and meat products should consider this program. Contact person: Chris Calkins 472-6314 A213f [email protected]
2. Horse, Livestock and Meat Evaluation Experience (Judging Teams)
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Animal Science sponsors six different judging teams. Judging teams represent a unique opportunity to develop animal science knowledge, visit livestock, horse and meats programs throughout many part of our country, increase communication skills, learn how to make a decision, meet new friends in the animal science industry and visit livestock and horse shows and exhibitions. Ask your advisor for the names and contact information of the contact person for the judging team related to your interest.
Early and careful planning is required to include judging team activities in a 4-year program of study. Students should visit with their adviser and the judging team coordinators early in their university program. Judging team details including travel allowances, possible scholarships and workout schedules can be learned by contacting the coordinator.
For students interested in the Livestock, Meats, or Meat Animal Evaluation Teams, registration in Animal Science 200 (Animal and Carcass Evaluation), preferably during the Fall semester of the sophomore year is recommended. Students may then enroll in Animal Science 300A (Junior Meats Judging Team) during the Spring Semester of their sophomore year and/or Animal Science 300B (Junior Livestock Judging Team) during the Fall Semester of their junior year.

ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT Overview and Advisors The Animal Science academic advisement is coordinated by: Dennis Brink, C220 Animal Sciences Phone: 472-6446; e-mail: [email protected]
All students are assigned an academic adviser. Dr. Brink assists with preliminary advising and course selection for most new students in animal science and then assigns students to other faculty members for future advising.
There are many benefits from working closely with your academic adviser. The primary function of your adviser is to help you plan your academic program. Your adviser will help you choose an option and develop your academic program, determine course prerequisites and the proper sequence of courses, etc. Your academic adviser is also a source of other information and assistance. Most scholarship and employment applications require a letter of reference from your adviser, so it is important that you have worked closely with your adviser. Your adviser is also available for counsel and guidance on problems other than academic. You will find your adviser to be a friend willing to visit about any topic. If your adviser cannot answer your question, they probably know who to contact to find the answer.
Although your adviser will assist you in your planning and decision making, you are ultimately responsible for satisfying the requirements for graduation. Therefore, you should become familiar with the requirements, procedures and deadlines related to your degree program published in the Undergraduate Bulletin and Schedule of Classes.
Most Animal Science Advisers maintain an open door policy allowing you to visit at any time. However, some advisers might be difficult to contact as most faculty have a combination teaching, research or extension appointment and thus, have many responsibilities in addition to advising. Therefore, you are encouraged to call in advance to make an appointment that is convenient to both you and your adviser. Questions or concerns related to advisement should be directed to Dennis Brink (C220f Animal Science, 472-6446). Animal Science Adviser Telephone Office E-mail Kathleen Anderson 472-6414 C204d [email protected] Dennis Brink 472-6446 C220f [email protected] Tom Burkey 472-6423 C206f [email protected] Chris Calkins 472-6314 A213f [email protected] Andrea Cupp 472-6424 A224i [email protected] Matt Ellicott 472-8834 C211 [email protected] Gary Sullivan 472-6430 A213 [email protected] Steve Jones 472-5566 A213e [email protected] Lisa Karr-Lilienthal 472-6458 C204e [email protected] Phil Miller 472-6421 C206g [email protected] Merlyn Nielsen 472-6406 A218j [email protected] Bryan Reiling 472-8960 C204a [email protected] Duane Reese 472-6425 C206h [email protected] Matt Spangler 472-6489 C204f [email protected]

HOW TO GET THE BEST ADVISING For Animal Science Majors
DO see your Animal Science adviser. Although your friends and relatives may have been through this program, there have been several changes in the curriculum they may not know. It is acceptable to ask other students to describe the kinds of assignments you might expect as part of a particular course, or to ask about the differences between two courses or two instructors. However, it is risky to ask their opinions about which courses you should take to meet college requirements. DO make use of the built-in assistance on campus for a variety of situations. If you are not sure which office to contact for help on a particular topic, remember to contact your adviser, instructor, teaching assistant, or student assistant. We can answer questions and direct you to other helpful people and offices on campus. DO ask your Animal Science Adviser during your first meeting how he/she prefers you to contact them. When you call your adviser, please do leave a voice mail message. Be sure to include your first and last names, your complete seven-digit telephone number and a brief topic about which you are calling. Many voice mails systems on campus will answer your call even when the person you are calling is on the telephone (that is, you won’t get a busy signal). So please do leave a message so we can call you back as soon as possible. (Remember that we can’t return your call if you don’t leave a message!). Often your Animal Science Advisor will not be able to respond to your e-mail or voice mail message immediately. In most cases if you do not receive a response from your advisor in 3 days, it is ok to make a follow up phone call or send another e-mail. If you need help from your adviser and can not make contact with them, please contact Dennis Brink (472-6446; [email protected]) DO make at least 2 advising appointments each semester. Your adviser can help you plan your next semester, as well as help you sketch out a long-range course plan to follow in future semesters. Remember many studies on student success in the university indicate a very high relationship of student success with the number of faculty connections made during their undergraduate program. Your Animal Science advisor is one of the most important connections you will make. Remember you will probably be asking for letters of reference! DON’T wait until the last minute! In most cases your Animal Science Adviser can be more helpful with more time to process your request! DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK!!! – Please, please, PLEASE…………… ASK
