rams, and generally spreading the
word about opportunities within
the College.
Bair, who is director of member
and public relations for Atlantic
Breeders Cooperative, is in his
first year of a two-year term as
president of CAAS. He says he
has chosen to be involved in
CAAS “because Penn State had a
big influence'on my life apd got
me started on my professional
career in agriculture. I think it’s
important to give something back
to the University and to offer
others the same opportunities I
have had.” Bair, who grew up on a
dairy farm in York Co., received
his B.S. in dairy science in 1967
and his M.S. in 1970.
Bair says his work with CAAS
is enjoyable in part because,
There is an active network of
people who work in agriculture. A
lot of people know each other.
Graduates of the College are a
close group because we have a
common bond that goes beyond
the fact that we happened to gra
duate from the same University.
We work together daily in all
phases of agriculture.”
A personal goal, Bair says, is
“to raise the level of awareness

HOOF 'n HEEL it a registered trademark
of H.W. Naylor Company, Inc.
that there is an active College of
Agriculture Alumni Society. Any
alumnus who is a member of the
Penn State Alumni Association is
automatically a member of the
College’s alumni society.”
In addition to a newsletter that
is mailed to members up to four
times a year, CAAS maintains a
presence at Ag Progress Days.
There is an alumni booth, but
there is also an Alumni Day, with
the annual meeting being held at
that time. Annually CAAS spon
sors a tailgate party at the Ag Are
na during the last football game of
the season. In 1989, over 300 peo
ple participated in the tailgate.
CAAS also has a booth at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show.
But CAAS does not serve just
its members; part of its mission is
to save the students who will
become the newest members as
they graduate. To this end, CAAS
is visible in many Ag Hill func
tions throughout the year.
At spring graduation, CAAS
sponsors a luncheon for graduates
and their families, with over 1,000
participating last year. CAAS sup
ports the Ag Hill Festival Ban
quet, and sponsors an awards and
scholarship program for students,
faculty and alumni.
Another activity of CAAS,
according to Bair, is to provide
continuing financial support for
the Pasto Agricultural Museum,
which is now located at Rock
Springs. They are investigating
long term programs to showcase
the important agricultural artifacts
which are preserved there.
