Hi. I’m Sarah Manski. I’m one of the LSC 100 TA’s. I hope to complete a Master’s Degree by May and then go on to a PhD in Life Sciences Communications. I plan on being a communications professor and start my own business someday. So, I look forward to learning how to design a website. I completed my undergraduate degree here at UW-Madison in 2002 and traveled around the country. I’ve worked as a radio, print and television journalist in Washington DC, New York City and San Francisco.

Five years have passed since I entered UW Madison as an Animal Science and Life Science Communications major. I’m hoping to finally graduate in May (Mr. Stanley, my future is in your hands). Taking this class was a hard decision, considering I knew that part of the challenge would be having to see Andy Peterson twice a week. Bummer. I am currently working in the field of agriculture marketing and have noticed how much better our promotional website projects could be if I knew more about how our graphic designers prepare these. I have very minimal experience in any design software, but am currently enrolled in LSC 530, where I’m hoping to learn more. I am looking towards a career in agriculture marketing.

Hi there, my name is Lilia. I am a graduate student in Life Sciences Communication. Before I moved to Madison, I lived in Carbondale, Illinois for 4 years (very southern Illinois, 40 minutes from Kentucky). I’m taking this course for some relief from theory and methods courses and to have a creative outlet. My career goals involve working/researching overseas and someday getting a PhD. I have limited experience with graphic design.

Hi, My name is Tim Clark. I’m currently a Senior, majoring in Agricultural Economics and Agricultural Journalism. I grew up on a large dairy farm in LeRoy, WI. In the past couple of years, we sold our dairy cows and started growing ‘feedlot’ beef.
I am taking this course to become more proficient in web communications. I would like to create a web site for our family farm so we can market our beef to direct consumers. My brother, who owns a booming engineering firm, has also requested that I analyze and develop his website, which has become a global marketing piece. He also has another project up his sleeve, but it is work in progress. This course will play a critical role in my position to help my family out.
I hope to become proficient in html, rss, and other generic web ’scripting’.
I have experience with Microsoft Word, Excell, Powerpoint and Auto CAD.

My name is Ali Schultz. I grew up on a dairy farm in Hammond, WI (close to St. Paul, MN).

I would like to obtain a basic knowledge of web communications. I would like to be able to create a website from start to finish and be able to manage a personal or business website for the future.

For the future I would like to apply the knowledge of my degree within agriculture and see that I am making a difference. I would ultimately like to work for smaller ag companies and help them with start-up marketing and communications.

My name is Michael Felling. I am from Hutchinson Mn which is about an hour west of the twin cities. I’m majoring in LSC Business and I’m a Senior. The main thing I would like to gain from this course is to become better at understanding and working with computers and the web. I know the basics, but I’m not the greatest at it, and I don’t have any experience with design software other that facebook. In the future, I would like to be working in business, hopefully something along the lines of marketing or public relations.
