Swine Discovery Day - College

How was the 1st edition of SDD successful?

Through a collaboration between The Ohio State University and The University of Minnesota, 19 students participated in the first Swine Discovery Day. After the day-long event students completed a post-survey to see if SDD had changed their perceptions of the swine industry and career related opportunities.

"This was one of the most educational activities I have participated in. I had so much fun today that if given the opportunity to do it again I would. The speakers were diverse and presented information that I will carry with me for my future career."
- Participant of OSU Swine Discovery Day.

"This was super informative and defintely a positive experience that made me more likely to consider working in the swine industry in the future."
