Welcome Friends!
I don’t ever remember such an early and beautiful spring! I certainly hope that you and yours had the opportunity to visit us at the Red Barn on Ag Field Day at Rutgers Day held Saturday, April 28. I enjoyed reconnecting with former students, classmates and friends and always enjoy seeing the big smiles and bright eyes of aspiring young scientists when they visit the Equine Exercise Physiology Lab and see the high speed treadmill in action. Check us out on Facebook at esc.rutgers.edu/fb for the photo gallery from Ag Field Day and other events.
Speaking of former teachers and classmates, Laura Gladney, class of 2008, is spearheading a “Calling all Alumni” campaign on behalf of Lord Nelson. The Center is currently trying to get back in touch with Animal Science alumni who are interested in horses and the equine industry. Feel free to send us your contact information, pictures and stories from your days on the Cook Campus and check out Lord Nelson’s blog or our Facebook page for the latest about your Equine Science Center.
Thanks to gifts from people like you we were able to offer a downsized grant program again this spring. I am looking forward to seeing continued cutting-edge science benefiting horses and the equine industry coming from our faculty, students and staff at the Center. Look at our website for upcoming opportunities to learn about our part in advancing equine science world-wide.
Mary Nikola and I taught the third round of the “Developing Future Leaders for the Equine Industry” class during winter session. We now have over 65 alumni. Students from all three classes held an alumni networking reunion event at a private party at the New Meadowlands Racetrack. We were enthralled by the discussion led by Jeff Gural, chairman, Newmark Knight Frank and CEO of American Racing and Entertainment, about his leadership style and his vision for the future of horse racing. Thanks to Mike Newlin, GM and all the staff at the track who made this event a definite winner!
Looking forward to seeing you on the trails this summer. Please consider making a donation to YOUR Equine Science Center so that we can continue to deliver the science-based information that you need to keep your horses well. No gift is too small. For information on how to make a gift, visit our Giving page or call at 848-932-9419.
All the best,
Karyn Malinowski, Ph.D.
