4-H Summer of Science at UMass Hadley Farm

Each year young people have the opportunity to select a track of study where they spend the day exploring a field of science with faculty, staff or a professional in the field.  Students interested in the Pre-Vet track had the opportunity to work with Dr. Cassandra Uricchio and Jillianne Smith from the Veterinary & Animal Science department learning about Equine Behavior & Learning Theory. The youth certainly enjoyed practicing operant conditioning with the UMass Horse Herd, especially the UMass police horse "Miller"!
