Animal & Range Sciences Student Work Assistance Programs
If you are an
Animal Science or Range Science major and are interested in a job related
to your major, fill out an application for these programs. If you qualify, a designated amount of
money will be made available from September 2008 to August 2009 for student
wages to work in a laboratory, at one of the livestock units or other jobs in
the Animal & Range Sciences Department. The amount will depend on the number of
students that qualify. Typically 10-12
students qualify for up to $1200 each in wages. Qualifying students will receive the
same wages as other students in similar jobs. It is best if you have discussed
possible employment with the manager or faculty in charge of the labs or
livestock units that you are interested in working for prior to submitting an
application. If you need more
information, contact your adviser.
Dr. Lawrence B. Embry,
Professor Emeritus, played an active role as a livestock researcher and scholar

undergraduate and graduate courses in animal nutrition and contributed to the
knowledge of nutrition and management of cattle and sheep through his
research. He was named a Fellow in
the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a Fellow in the

Dr. Embry established this fund to create additional positions for undergraduate students to gain hands on training that will add a greater dimension of practical experience to enrich their classroom education and provide needed financial assistance. Students selected for this program are employed to assist faculty with research projects. Criteria for selection include: 1) interest in research activities, 2) financial need, 3) academic progress and 4) lack of traditional scholarship funding. Preference will be given to freshmen and sophomores.
