Fall Fun: CFANS Sampler and Apple Picking

The return of the fall semester brings back a busy campus, classes, and teaching and TAing, but Plant Path department members are making time for the fun traditions of autumn as well.

On Friday, September 29, Diane, Becky, and Zoe participated in the Homecoming weekend CFANS Sampler, bringing the "What Plant Disease are you" quiz as well as free stickers. Brian and Robert also attended! Go Gophers!

Department members also went apple picking at Whistling Well Farms in Hasting, bringing along loved ones to join. What's a better way to celebrate autumn than enjoying one of CFANS's own Honeycrisp apples right in the orchard?
