NCTA Dean’s Message by Larry Gossen, Ph.D.
I love to eat. Let me be more specific. I love to eat good food. While there are many types of food I do NOT care for, I do love Cajun food.
So, when I had the chance last week to go to New Orleans for a national conference, I started dreaming about all the Cajun delicacies I would have the chance to try out. I was not disappointed.

Dean’s Message by NCTA Dean Larry Gossen, Ph.D.
Everyone loves a county or state fair!
Exhibits, animals, contests, food, carnivals, games, and often a concert, rodeo or ranch rodeo that fill the bleachers or grandstand.
Frontier County is heading into fair week in two locations, Stockville and Eustis. The two fairs are a longstanding tradition.

As I enjoy this period of below normal temperatures, daily chances of rain, and sunny days, I wonder where the month of June has gone. Here we are sitting at the halfway point through 2021 and it causes me to ponder.
Aggie Alumni Day
Last weekend we had the privilege of hosting over 100 NSA, NSTA, UNSTA and NCTA alumni on campus for our Aggie Alumni Day. What a great turnout, and everything went so well.
