Students will interact with guest speakers, including agriculture/natural resource (ANR) lobbyists, representatives from governmental agencies and departments, and policymakers. From March 1-4 (during UF’s spring break), students will travel to Washington, DC, to meet with policymakers, lobbyists from national ANR organizations, and agency heads.

You will need to contact Ms. Becky Cook (rtrammell@ufl.edu) if you want to register for the course because it is departmentally controlled.
There is a mandatory trip to Washington, DC, on March 1-4. If you already know you have a scheduling conflict on those days (during UF’s spring break), please do not pre-register for the course.
A $900 administrative fee will be assessed with this course to cover expenses in DC.
Class meets on Friday mornings from 8:30-10:30.
Since the course is departmentally controlled, you will need to contact BECKY COOK (rtrammell@ufl.edu) if you are interested in the course.
