Gone but not forgotten.

During our first session on campus, Dr. Allen Featherstone, director of the MAB program, gave all of us a talk about expectations -- what was expected from us as first year students, what we could expect from the faculty, support staff and agribusiness program overall. At that time he said that no one expected MAB to be a #1 priority for students. We're all busy with careers, families and personal lives, other obligations that often trump our commitments to this graduate program.

Now three months into the MAB courses and overall experience, I'd say he was right about that. It's a pretty forgiving system they operate under. And for the sake of this blog, that's been a very good thing. When "the going got tough" this blog took a back seat. It was temporarily gone from my radar, but not forgotten.

Now that my schedule is more formidable, I'm hoping to get back on the MAB blog bandwagon. Throw your comments out here. Let me know what you want to know about and I'll try and provide an answer (or get you the professional assistance of Lynnette or Mary).

And if you're a current MAB'er or an alum -- post a shout-out. Tell us what you think about the program... and remember, we're always looking for someone else to join the MAB blog author list!
