AGRY 582 offered odd years so this spring 2013 has the title 'Pesticide Degradation', HOWEVER, per need and student demand, the instructor Dr. Turco has decided to make a major content shift in the course to focus on "Biodegradation and Bioremediation". So this spring it will be taught with this new content and a course title change is in process. Linda S.

ESE students (and faculty) reminder and a few details about our end of the semester get together: When & Where: Friday, December 7th, 5-8 pm in MANN (the atriums) Who: You and your spouses, children, etc. are welcomed. A few things 1. We really need you to respond with an RSVP at ESEevent(a)purdue.edu<mailto:ESEevent@purdue.edu> and how many are coming with you so we can plan accordingly - plan to come and go as you can 2. If you would like to bring something homemade - a dessert or a crock pot of something - that would be great since homemade food is usually much more enjoyable. This is not necessary to attend, but just if you want to contribute. 3. If you feel like giving a small gift to Christal and Clayton, you are most welcome to go together in small groups to provide a gift. Alternatively, you can make a monetory contribution and we will put together a gift card for her. Email Katrin (keitremh(a)purdue.edu<mailto:keitremh@purdue.edu>) by Wed next week if you want to be part of the gift card.
