Hello,
I hope everyone is enjoying the nice fall weather, since it has been warmer than usual. I would like to first thank everyone who helped plan and participated in this year’s national meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. I had a great time, along with everyone else, out in the middle of the desert. This past year’s officers did an excellent job running the meeting and making sure all of the competitions ran smoothly. There was also a record crowd in attendance at all of the SAD activities. With the increased participation, I would like to encourage everyone who will be participating in St. Louis work extra hard to make the competitions better than ever. This year’s officer team has already begun working hard to make next year’s meeting the best one yet.
Lastly, I would like to encourage everyone to attend and compete in the regional and national meetings in the coming year. These meetings are always fun and is a great way to meet new people from all over the country. I hope everyone has an enjoyable semester and I wish you the best of luck in your regional competitions.
Have a great fall,
Jeremy Moyer
President, ADSA-SAD
The 2004 Joint Annual Meeting of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), American Society of Animal Science (ASAS), and the Poultry Science Association (PSA) will be the second joint meeting of these three groups. The Federation of Animal Science Societies (FASS) is coordinating the meeting to be held in St. Louis, Missouri, July 25-29, 2004. Mark your calendars now, and don’t miss this opportunity to target three associations in one central location!
The ADSA Student Affiliate Division (ADSA-SAD) Program will begin on Saturday, July 24 with a tour and student mixer, and continue thru Tuesday afternoon, July 27. In addition to the scientific program and competitions, many social events are being planned including more student mixers, a night of Cardinal baseball (schedule permitting), a club shirt exchange, and much, much more.
While other cities boast about inner-city revitalization, St. Louis has gone to work reinventing itself. America’s Center, a sprawling, state-of-the-art convention center in the heart of downtown, boasts 21st century amenities. Add 31,000 area-wide hotel rooms and unprecedented downtown hotel construction, their 34-mile light rail system and 1,400 daily flights, and the hard task of getting down to work has never looked easier. However, their real lure is an open-armed hospitality that still embraces east and west and everything in between. St. Louis offers more free attractions than anyplace outside of the nation’s capital - including the Art Museum, Science Center, Missouri History Museum, St. Louis Zoo, Anheuser-Busch Brewery, Grant’s Farm, Purina Farms, the Museum of Westward Expansion, Ulysses S. Grant’s home - White Haven, the historic Old Courthouse, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, Laumeier Sculpture Park and many more.
This meeting serves as an international forum to gather vital information for the future of animal agriculture and will attract over 3,500 scientists/researchers with diverse and common interests from around the globe. Interests include food science, dairy production, animal and human nutrition, livestock transport, food safety, transgenics and cloning, production and management, and web-based information programs. Over 1500 poster presentations, 75 exhibits, and 30 symposia will be sure to motivate the world’s leading animal, dairy, poultry, and food scientists. Once again, the Exhibit Hall will host the Poster Presentations, Cyber Café, Job Placement Center, and ADSA Foundation Auction Preview.
Make plans now to attend the 2004 Joint Annual Meeting. It’s an opportunity you can’t afford to miss!
Stay
Where the Action Is -- Make Your Club’s Housing Reservation Today!
Many
have commented over the years about the desire to get all the students in
one hotel. This year, as in the past, a hotel has been designated at the Student
Headquarters Hotel: the Holiday Inn Select. Although it is designated as the
student hotel, the housing bureau cannot deny any meeting participant’s
(student or professional) reservation request if space is available. In
order to get as many students as possible in one hotel, it is up to the clubs
to make their reservations early.
You may make your club’s reservations by going to the meeting housing page,
http://www.fass.org/2004/house.asp
On the web site you will find the housing form and a link to the online housing reservation system. The Holiday Inn Select is offering room rates of $115 single/double, $141 quad. The hotel is very close to other hotels and the convention center, as well as many restaurants and nightclubs.
You may make your reservations by either printing out the form and returning to the Housing Bureau, or by using the online housing reservation system. This is a secure site operated by the CVB and is very similar to making hotel reservations online through individual properties or a travel service.

At this summer’s meeting in Phoenix, two suggestions were proposed, the first to impact the structure of regional meetings and the second to enhance the national meeting competition lineup.
- Penn State brought forth concerns about the varying structures of regional meetings. They proposed a standardized format be investigated for each regional meeting to use. A committee is being formed to work on this proposal, and will report to the SAD during the regional meetings and at the business meetings in St. Louis.
- Cal Poly brought forth a proposal to develop a new competition category for an Electronic Yearbook. Cal Poly is moving toward and electronic yearbook to save production time and costs. A committee was formed and has met. They will be bringing forth a proposal for presentation to the SAD at the business meetings in St. Louis.
2003: A Look Back at the Meeting in Phoenix
The 2003 Meeting in Phoenix was among our biggest yet! All the events were standing room only, with more than 130 registered for the luncheon alone! Despite the heat (true to character for summers in Phoenix), the students found plenty of ways to enjoy the meeting as well as the nightlife that the city had to offer. Highlights included a dairy farm/city tour, a few great mixers, the third annual Dairy Quiz Bowl, outstanding competitions including the Undergraduate Paper Competitions, a Congressional Insights course, and an awards luncheon where students, advisors and clubs were honored with a host of awards for their achievement. Students also had the opportunity to attend symposia, oral sessions and poster sessions presented by professional members of the organizations.
