Campus outreach In 2014, ANCW was also able to reach out to consumers on college campuses by utilizing beef checkoff funds to hold fve unique events at the University of Florida, Cornell University, Pennsylvania State University, Ohio State University and North Dakota State University (NDSU). These universities were chosen from proposals submitted by collegiate organizations, including collegiate CattleWomen groups, Block & Bridle or Saddle & Sirloin clubs, and Alpha Zeta fraternities. Proposals included a plan and budget for a one-day activity to promote beef on campus. Members of these collegiate organizations then helped coordinate and host the event on their campus. Some state beef council volunteers were also involved in their respective states. NDSU hosted a tailgate event prior to a football game and had people sample beef cooked to different degrees of doneness to taste the differences and initiate conversations about beef cooking methods for optimal eating experiences. Ohio, Cornell and NDSU also hosted Iron Chef-style cooking competitions for different campus organizations to compete in using steak as their main ingredient. Some of the universities hosted games — from a hay toss to roping — to create awareness and facilitate conversations about what cattle eat and how producers consider animal welfare of their cattle. Another university had students write short comments about why they love beef on a Post-it® note and stick it on the wall — creating a neat visual at the end of the day that showed support for beef. "These activities were all focused on reaching students face-to-face and engaging in conversations about beef," Bohnenkamp says. For other campuses or student organizations interested in hosting similar events in the future, Bohnenkamp says they 84 n ANGUSJournal n January 2015 Women to Women, Moms to Moms CONTINUED FROM PAGE 83
