While we've already had the ribbon cutting ceremony for 314 ClaOff, it's not too late to join the group of students that will be providing support for the department labs. Support is offered for statistical software, MS Office, some programming and some hardware. Sharon Kill and Louise Letnes are very helpful and knowledgeable in all aspects of library research. It is collected during the Fall semester.
Current newspapers are also available.
The New York Times is available due to the special voluntary contribution of grad students. A large group of graduate students from our department frequently go to annual international and domestic meetings. Students further along in their program who have international interests are encouraged to submit materials to international conferences such as the International Agricultural Economics Meetings, recently held in Berlin, Germany. Students are encouraged to try to present a paper at the meetings during their program to give them an opportunity to present their research before going on the job market. Whether attending or presenting, the Department usually has some funds for travel expenses.
