W E L COM E What good could ever come out of Spring 2020 and COVID-19?

To me, it felt like someone put the end of a firehose in my mouth and turned the water pressure on high. How to learn multiple new technologies over spring break in order to securely teach class and advise students online starting….NOW? Many students lost jobs, moved home and had to adjust to (possibly) changed syllabi and doing labs “online.”

And, where did all the toilet paper go?

While the laundry list of negatives about Spring 2020 semester is long, what have we learned?

We will never take for granted a simple hug from a friend, or shaking someone’s hand as a friendly gesture.

Health care workers, sanitation workers and janitors, grocery clerks, farmers, postal workers and truckers are vital to our health and the critical supply chain to keep food and products on store shelves. For those with young siblings or children, elementary school teachers have never been so appreciated.

The smile from a checkout clerk at the grocery store to a frightened senior citizen hidden behind a mask has never meant so much.

We have learned how to smile behind cloth masks, and use a “thumbs up” gesture to connect with people across a room. We have learned to ask for help by signing up for health insurance, going to a food pantry and calling the UK IT helpline when a cup of coffee spilled on the laptop.

Asking for help is OK. Not knowing all the answers is OK. Admitting that, “This is really weird,” is not only OK, but it is healthy to talk to others going through the same issues. Maybe after all of this, mental health care won’t carry the stigma of the past, because none of us has ever lived through “social distancing” before. All of us need coping mechanisms. To reach out to a mental health care provider is not only OK, it is REALLY OK! Talking to someone who can say, “Yes, what you are experiencing is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation,” can be very comforting.

Never again will we take for granted a strong WiFi signal, or a reliable laptop and cell phone or enough food to eat. The comforting photos of animals, flowers, sidewalk chalk art on social media sites take our minds off of daily concerns. Free online concerts, zoo tours, museum virtual visits and even jigsaw puzzles take our minds off of the “virus” and our worries.

We have learned that we can live without specialty coffee every day (or every other day), and brew it at home. We don’t need to eat out at restaurants as much as we thought, and home cooking can be pretty good (maybe!). Learning how to cook delicious, nutritious foods at home can be a lesson learned from Spring 2020.

Some of us have to be away from our horses with restrictions placed on some boarding stables (social distancing). Horse events are on hold. But, remember, not forever. All of that tack that needs to be cleaned… now is the time!

This too shall pass. We are all in this together. What have you learned from Spring 2020?

And, where did all the toilet paper go?

UK Equine Science and Management Program awarded EEQ Certification

By Holly Wiemers University of Kentucky’s Ag Equine Programs’ Equine Science and Management was one of the first programs to be awarded an Essential Employability Qualities Certification (EEQ CERT), which is granted by The Quality Assurance Commons for Postsecondary Education after a rigorous process of external and independent review.

According to the certifying program, EEQ Certified programs foster a distinctive set of attributes in their graduates. These qualities are intended to prepare graduates to make important contributions in their workplaces.

“Employability skills are essential to being prepared for both initial and long-term professional success,” said James MacLeod, UK Ag Equine Programs directcor and faculty member in the Gluck Equine Research Center. In our curriculum, we absolutely value a strong foundation of knowledge in equine science and core subjects. Importantly, however, we concurrently strive to help students develop essential employability skills that will enable them to reach career goals and achieve their full potential.”

Programs participating in the certification are scored on five categories that represent a comprehensive and integrated framework for employability - Graduate EEQ Preparation, Career Support Services, Employer Engagement, Student and Alumni Engagement and Public Information.

“The Essential Employability Qualities program certification program is a great way to solidify the measures we have taken to ensure that our students are ready for careers within the equine industry,” said Kristen Wilson, academic coordinator in the Equine Science and Management Program.

“Preparing students in both the equine content and skills as well as employability skills is essential to have them succeed as professionals in the industry.”

“Our program is on the front lines of integrating high quality career development for our students.

We want our students, alumni, university partners and our industry to know the ways we’re helping our students grow in these key areas. We are excited to highlight the innovative efforts of our faculty and staff and the exceptional attributes of our students,” said Savannah Robin, internship coordinator in the Equine Science and Management program.

The EEQs, designed to be responsive to specific employer expectations, represent the knowledge, skills, abilities and experiences that help ensure that graduates are not only ready for their Continued on page 7

Equine Science and Management Alumni Profile Maredith Davis Woods, ‘15

Creative Director at Maredith Davis Design

Where is home for you?

I’m originally from Ringgold, Georgia.

How did you first become involved in the horse industry?

Like most horse-crazy girls, I began taking riding lessons in elementary school. I received my first horse, Dakota, when I was 10 years old. My first few years of riding were spent trail riding around our family’s farm with my dad. As I entered middle school, I found an interest in the hunter jumpers and began competing regularly, first at local events and later across the circuit into my Junior career.

What were your career goals before graduation?

Prior to graduating, I knew that I wanted to merge my passion for the equine industry with my love of graphic design. Having grown up in an entrepreneurial family, the idea of starting my own business in order to maintain a flexible work and riding schedule never seemed out of question.

What advice do you have for current equine students?

The connections that you are making right now have the opportunity to serve you through the rest of your career. Our industry, despite the wide variety of disciplines and niches, is incredibly interconnected.

Take the opportunities to make connections and learn from as many people as you can, and try not to discount even the smallest interactions. Later down the road, some of the most subtle connections can make the biggest differences in helping you achieve your goals.

What led you to this position?

Prior to graduation, I made having the flexibility to travel to horse shows and clinics a top priority. With this in mind, I knew that pursuing a traditional officestyle position with a marketing agency was not going to allow the level of flexibility that I craved. Having grown up in, and marrying into, an entrepreneurial family, I made the decision to begin freelancing my graphic design services.

How are you currently involved in the horse industry?

Along with working with equestrian businesses through Maredith Davis Design and continuing to ride regularly, I also work alongside my husband in his business, Colton Woods Horsemanship. Colton Woods Horsemanship works with equestrians and their horses through online educational opportunities, the Heart of Horsemanship Podcast, teaching clinics around the United States, training horses and teaching lessons.

What are your current job responsibilities?

At Maredith Davis Design, I design custom brands for equestrians and entrepreneurs. From logos and custom graphics to website design, Maredith Davis Design specializes in working alongside business owners to help create visual strategies that speak to their ideal customers and truly reflects the quality of their work.

UK alumni veterinarians adapting to COVID-19 challenges

by Aimee Nielson; VIDEO STORY by Jeff Franklin Veterinarians are essential and open for business in Kentucky, but the way they are interacting with clients has changed. Regardless of practice size or whether they service large or small animals, all practitioners must limit human-to-human contact and maintain proper distancing, following all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Association recommendations.

Although the University of Kentucky doesn’t have a veterinary school, many complete bachelor’s degrees in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment prior to moving on to veterinary school.

Some of those UK alumni recently shared their challenges and experiences in this “new normal.”

“Farms have been practicing biosecurity for years, so a lot of these new recommendations were already in place in our clinics and field locations,” said Natalie Heitz, field veterinarian for Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington. “Not a lot has changed for me. I’m out in the field, right in the middle of breeding season.”

Heitz is a 2012 graduate of UK’s Equine Science and Management program and a 2014 graduate of the Goldophin Flying Start program. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Auburn University in 2018 before joining Hagyard. She said the biggest change for her has been prioritizing client calls.

“I’ve been doing urgent and essential field calls,” she said. “For other needs, we are using a lot of telemedicine and phone calls with clients and then going into the field when necessary. We do have to be more mindful of our resources like alcohol and gloves. Some medicines are on backorder.

Equine vets have dealt with contagious respiratory diseases that pass easily from horse to horse in comingling situations for years. So, in a sense, the way we are operating hasn’t changed.”

When the focus turns to small animal veterinarians, things have changed a whole lot more. Dan Bowling and his partner Stacy Burdick both attended UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment before completing veterinary school at Auburn. Together they own Animal Hospital of Nicholasville.

They’ve also been using telemedicine and video conferencing to communicate with clients. A major change is that they no longer let their non-animal clients into the building, and they’ve paused routine procedures for now.

“We have someone in full personal protective equipment meet our clients in the parking lot. They remove the animal’s personal collar and leash, replace it with one we have sanitized and then they Continued on page 12

enter the clinic through what we call our decontamination room,” said Bowling, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in animal and food sciences in 1981. “We wipe the animal down with a safe, nontoxic product that kills viruses. We treat them and communicate with people in the parking lot through phone or video apps to make sure we address all their concerns.”

The pets go back through the decontamination room and then back to their owners, who pay their bill with a secure app over the phone. Bowling said the most challenging part is that animals can’t tell you what’s bothering them, and appointments take at least twice as long. They miss the interaction with the pets’ owners.

“We’ve been serving in this community for the past 35 years, and it’s like a big family,” he said. “When you all the sudden don’t have contact with all those people, it’s certainly different for sure.

Bowling’s practice had extra personal protective equipment and donated it to local emergency medical services in Jessamine County.

In Barbourville, Mark and Tammy Smith own Knox County Veterinary Services, a small animal practice.

Mark graduated from UK with a bachelor’s degree in animal and food sciences in 1986. Tammy earned a bachelor’s degree from Western Kentucky University but is a loyal UK supporter, and she serves on the board of the Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Association. They were the first veterinary practice in Knox County when they started their mixed animal practice in 1996.

“We limit foot traffic and limit the services we provide,” Tammy Smith said. “We do mostly sick and emergency care. We were actually starting to do telemedicine just as the pandemic began, so it was pretty timely, but there’s only so much you can do without your hands being on the animal.”

“Some clients get frustrated because they are really used to coming in and seeing us,” Mark Smith said. “Our younger clients have said they appreciate the online options, but some of our older clients are having a bit of an issue with online services. Most people are very willing to work with us.”

He said their employees have really stepped up and done a lot of work that they weren’t having to do before. He’s been so amazed at their ability to adapt during the pandemic. ‘ “A lot of our clients, all they have is that pet,” Mark Smith said. “Pets are a huge part of an owner’s well-being. They keep people going. We’re happy to be able to continue offering essential services to pet owners.”

The Bluegrass Stockyards is an essential part of the food chain, and animal health is an important part of that. Food animal veterinarian Chris Jolly works cattle there a couple days a week. Jolly was also an animal and food sciences student at UK before going to vet school at Auburn. He agreed with Heitz in that much of the large animal work is already done at appropriate social distancing requirements.

“We were social distancing before it was cool,” he said. “We are naturally spread out when we are working cattle. Farmers are still buying cattle during this time. They are buying light weight feeders and turning them out on grass.”

Jolly said they are not doing a lot of surgeries and have had some delays in obtaining nitrile gloves, but otherwise it has been business as usual. They do pregnancy checks on all the cows arriving at the stockyards and work the cattle who are headed to pasture after they sell.

Changes announced by UK to increase student access in response to the COVID-19 pandemic Source: letter from UK President Eli Capilouto, April 10 A series of steps are being implemented by UK’s Division of Enrollment Management. The efforts are designed to increase access to more students and families who want to join the UK community this fall.

Those steps include: • Moving the traditional confirmation deadline from May 1 to June 1. We have heard from many students, who are ready to transition to the next step, confirm their attendance and register for an orientation session now. But some students and families in this uncertain period may need extra time and support right now, which a later confirmation date would provide.

• Making standardized tests optional this spring as part of the application and enrollment process for Fall 2020. Spring ACTs and SATs were canceled, and future tests have been delayed. We don’t want the worry of test scores to weigh on anyone. We will instead use all other aspects of the application, high school course performance, essays, leadership and involvement in our review process.

• Accepting self-reported GPA scores for students who want to apply for Fall 2020 since there are barriers to accessing documents now with high school administrations moving to a remote format. Additional steps by Associate Provost Christine Harper and the Enrollment Management team will be announced in the coming weeks to make the application and confirmation process easier and more accessible.

Graduating Seniors in UK’s Equine Program Seek Closure

By Katie Ritz; Source: Thoroughbred Daily News, April 11 Dr. Jackie Wahrmund taught my first class on the morning of my first day of college at the University of Kentucky– Animal Science 101: Domestic Animal Biology, an auditorium full of over a hundred eager freshmen. About half of them hoped to be veterinarians someday, only to have their dreams crushed a month later after their first chemistry exam. But this was a class we would all come to look forward to every week. We got to learn about what we were all passionate about, and Dr. Wahrmund made the class enjoyable.

Ironically enough, she also taught my very last class of college. Last month, I was working out a feed ration calculation in her nutrition lab when we all got the notifications on our phones–we would be taking classes online for two weeks following spring break, and then we would return to our normal schedule.

But days later, we got the email that classes would be held virtually for the rest of the semester. So when I left that nutrition lab, I had no idea it would be the last time I walked on campus as a senior majoring in Equine Science and Management. None of us, the professors or the students, had any idea.

Lilly Boladian, a fellow senior Equine Science and Management student, has been seeking closure on the unexpected ending to her final semester. “I never could have guessed that I wouldn’t get a chance to say goodbye and really have those last moments on campus with professors and friends,” she said.

“I see my professors through video, but that’s upsetting to me because I know I can’t even give them a hug goodbye.”

Casey Wallace, another senior in the equine program, was set to finish out her college career with study abroad in France for two weeks following graduation. The equine-focused trip was to be led by Dr. Wahrmund.

“Dr. Wahrmund was so upset when she told us our trip was cancelled, but we knew it wasn’t her fault,” said Wallace. “I think the hardest thing for me was that I wish I could have known before spring break that we wouldn’t be returning for the rest of the semester. There were so many people that I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to.”

Boladian and Wallace are both pursuing careers in the Thoroughbred industry, and they spoke of finding jobs in such an unprecedented time.

“It has been stressful because so many people are losing their jobs, so for me that means people aren’t going to be hiring,” said Wallace. “I plan on working the sales this summer and fall, so it’s kind of scary to not know where the industry is going to be in a couple months.
