Christen Burgett, animal science, takes a moment to thank those who have helped make the transition to online classes a smooth and seamless process, including cross-campus collaborations. In the video, she includes a home shot of lambs on the ground, a sure sign that spring is here. Burgett recently received the Outstanding Young Teacher Award from the American Society of Animal Science and the American Dairy Science Association at the 2020 Midwest Joint Meeting in Omaha. Along with teaching and advising, Burgett coordinates the animal science internship program, co-advises the 130-member Dairy Science Club and coaches the dairy judging team.
