I'm a transplanted Southerner who has put down some deep roots in the Midwest. I'm married to a grain farmer, and I can see corn fields from every window in my house. I love living on the farm, in rhythm with Creation.
By day, I work for Purdue University's College of Agriculture, directing the alumni and public engagement programs. I'm on the road a lot, so I get to connect with many great people around Indiana.
Tents-- mostly yellow and white-- are popping up all over campus. As I look out my window across State Street, Memorial Mall is almost completely covered. And there's an almost-solid row extending down the lawns of agriculture buildings on the south side of State Street. Of course that means only one thing-- SPRING FEST is upon us! This year's activity-packed event will celebrate 10 years of Spring Fest and is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, April 12-13. Visit the Spring Fest web site to get complete schedules and locations of the activities. You can also download a cool poster. Spring Fest includes activities from 10 of Purdue's schools and colleges, as well as a number of other centers and programs such as Purdue Athletics. But it's all coordinated by our own Danica Kirkpatrick, the Events and Educational Activities Coordinator for the College of Agriculture. Three cheers for Danica!
