The University of Wyoming will host its 42nd annual Ag Day Barbecue Saturday, Oct. 11, before the UW vs. San Jose State University football game.

The barbecue is scheduled from 2 p.m.-4:30 p.m. It will be held at UW’s indoor practice facility.

This year’s menu features sliced beef, pulled pork, and lamb with cheesy potato casserole, coleslaw, and cake prepared by the UW Food Science Club.

The event showcases registered student organizations associated with the College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources (CALSNR). Proceeds from the barbecue help support student organization programming throughout the year and fund two scholarships for students who staff the barbecue.

Members of any CALSNR student organizations, which include the Student Gerontology Association, Range Club and Wyoming Collegiate Cattle Association, can volunteer to attend and staff the barbecue.

Tickets can be purchased at the door, cash or card only. The cost is $20 for adults or $10 for children ages 6-12. Admission is free for children 5 and under.

For more information, contact Hannah Rasmussen, CALSNR relations representative, at hpowers2@uwyo.edu or (307) 766-4034.

UW’s WYOBIRD Contributes to Study on Climate Sensitivity Among Tree Swallows

Across the board, tree swallow populations have similar sensitivity to warming amid climate change, but different abilities to respond to change. Breeding dates have advanced about one day per degree of warming, but northern populations face tighter time constraints and greater exposure to warming, according to recent research that included University of Wyoming students and faculty in the Wyoming Bird Initiative for Resilience and Diversity (WYOBIRD).
