OSU was represented on five National Agricultural Communication Symposium (NACS) paper presentations and one professional development session which included the three colleges of CFAES (Columbus, Wooster, and the Statewide Extension Campus). What’s really cool is that the undergraduate research was also featured and the undergraduate started at our Wooster campus! Three of the papers with OSU representation were award winners.
