Kaija Caldwell, Mizzou Animal Sciences, is in the CAFNR Office of Academic Programs Newsletter spotlight today. Q: Why did you decide to come to the University of Missouri and major in animal sciences? What do you enjoy about the program itself? The field of study? A: I decided to come to Mizzou because it was far enough from home that I could create a new, unique chapter of my life but close enough that I could get there quickly if something were to arise and I needed to be ...home. After touring the Animal Science Research Center and hearing how much hands-on experience I would obtain working with animals in my classes, I knew this was the place I needed to be. Coming from the South Side of Chicago, I had never been around livestock animals prior to college. My classes allowed me to explore my curiosities by exposing me to different disciplines within each species handled. In addition to the genuine guidance and care from the faculty and staff, I was able to find my passion in equine science and most of all I enjoyed my learning experience in animal sciences.
