With JNHE just around the corner, we all seem to be spending more time in the show barn getting ready to head to Madison, Wis.

Even with the hustle and bustle of getting ready, it is well worth the hard work we all put into it. If you are a junior member and are looking to have the time of your life in Madison, I would recommend you enter as many contests as possible. The experiences you will gain from being an active junior member will pay off for you in the long run.

The day included hands-on activities. My thoughts included concepts from the U. How exposed should we be to the world around us? That is a very serious and deep question. Simply put, our world is a massive living system utilizing all the living to sustain itself.
Living is part of that process, a process of recycling and, ultimately, reclaiming. So, as the students touched, listened to, spoke about or even breathed in the marvelous experience, they, at the same time, integrated into the very system they visited. They become part of it, leaving behind traces and pieces and taking with them traces and pieces. The cycle These traces and pieces are at the heart of the U.
