Animal Science The D. E. King Equine Program was well represented at the 2007 Equine Science Society (ESS) symposium in Baltimore. Faculty and students presented four research papers and two research posters. Those attending were students Kellie Hampy, Laura McKenzie, and Jana Reynolds, Program Director N. E. Jack, Barn Manager/Event Coordinator Kathi Jogan, Arena Manager Danny Belcher, and State Equine Extension Specialist Steve Jones. Foods, Human Nutrition and Hospitality Jerald Foote won the “Outstanding Dietetics Educator of the Year” award presented by the Arkansas Dietetic Association and will represent the State of Arkansas with the award for The American Dietetic Association. Foote gave an invited presentation, "Evaluating the Safety & Efficacy of Dietary Supplements: A Clinician’s Perspective," to the Mid-Continental Association of Food and Drug Officials March 28. Food Science Terry J. Siebenmorgen received the 2007 Food Processing Suppliers Association Foundation – Food Process Engineering Institute Food Engineering Award, recognizing him as a Distinguished Food Engineer. Luke Howard gave a seminar entitled "Processing effects on berry polyphenolics" at the Berry Health Benefits Symposium held June 11-12 in Corvallis, Ore. Ph.D. student Vishal Jain received two international graduate student awards at the American Oil Chemists Society Annual Meeting in May at Montreal. He received a 2007 Honored Student Award and the 2007 Peter & Claire Kalustian Scholarship of The American Oil Chemists' Society, as the outstanding Honor Student. Vishal was also invited to present a paper on his research, 'Pilot plant production of CLA-rich soy oil by photoirradiation', which is supervised by his adviser Andy Proctor. These awards are open to international competition between graduate students doing research in fats and oils throughout the world. Selection is based on classroom performance and research quality. Arvind Kannan was selected as a semi-finalist for the Phi Tau Sigma Graduate Research Paper Competition at the national Institute of Food Technologist’s annual meeting to be held July 28 – August 1 in Chicago.
