On the morning of March 16, 2023, listeners of National Public Radio (NPR) might have heard some familiar voices over the radio waves: the bleating of our Campus Farm sheep and lambs; also Dr. Sarah Balcom and ANSC students. As part of a series on higher education, Morning Edition featured ANSC’s Campus Farm and Lamb Watch class in a piece titled, “Lambs aren't white and fluffy and other lessons learned at this campus farm.”
The radio piece began, “Many high school seniors are figuring out their college plans. NPR’s Claire Murashima looked into some of higher education’s quirkier offerings – she found one on a campus farm at the University of Maryland.”
The piece featured teaching assistants Caitlyn Mercado and Claire Jennings, Dr. Sarah Balcom, students, and a chorus of our lambs and sheep.
