  1. Ohio State ATI turfgrass student wins national scholarship

    Submitted by Zane Raudenbush, raudenbush.1@osu.edu

    Ohio State ATI turfgrass major James Schon has been awarded a nationally competitive scholarship by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America through the GCSAA’s 2020 Scholars Competition, which recognizes outstanding college students planning careers in golf course management.

    The GCSAA Scholars Competition is funded primarily by the Robert Trent Jones Endowment and is administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf, GCSAA’s philanthropic organization. This year, the program awarded $28,000 in scholarships.

    Scholars Competition scholarships range from $500 to $6,000. Applicants must be enrolled in a recognized undergraduate program in a major field related to turf management, have completed at least 24 credit hours or the equivalent of one year of full-time study in the appropriate major, and be a member of GCSAA. Selection criteria for the program include academic achievement, employment history, extracurricular activities, potential to become a leading professional in the golf course management industry, and recommendations from a current academic adviser and a superintendent with whom the student has worked.

    This is the first time in Ed's and my tenure at ATI that one of our students has received one of these nationally competitive scholarships.

    Congratulations, James!

  2. Free screenings of film SILO

    Submitted by Kris Boone, boone.3@osu.edu

    Free screenings of the film SILO will be offered as a part of Farm Science Review 2020. It is a great opportunity for friends and family to spend an evening together watching a movie from the comfort of their own home and a way to start a dialog around safety for families, FFA chapters, or older 4-H members. 

    Inspired by true events, SILO follows a harrowing day in an American farm town. Disaster strikes when teenager Cody Rose is entrapped in a 50-foot-tall grain bin. When the corn turns to quicksand, family, neighbors and first responders must put aside their differences to rescue Cody from drowning in the crop that has sustained their community for generations.

    You must register for a digital pass to be able to attend.
