Beat the clock symposium style
November 21, 2009The Symposium held by the Turfgrass students is less than a week away. The symposium takes place on the 27th of November at the Cutten Club in Guelph. Part of the day at the symposium consists of a beat the clock session held by the turfgrass students. The six students that have been chosen have provided us with there knowledge on a topic related to the turfgrass industry. They each have two minutes to enlighten us with what they feel interests them.
The six students that are taking place in the beat the clock are: Matt Nixon, Brad Anderson, Annie Vallaincourt, Michael Gainfort, Geoff Griffin, and Dave Powley. These six students were the ones chosen by the class to take part in the beat the clock session at the symposium. There are a wide variety of topics brought up by each speaker. The majority of the topics are related to the turfgrass industry. The one speaker we have Dave Powley who finishes it off will be talking about electric mowers and how they might become the mower of the future for courses built in and or around homes.
By having the beat the clock session just before lunch at the symposium it could allow for people to have conversations over what was said. It is also a good way to kind of make people think about their situation they have at their current golf course and how this information may help them in the future. The six individuals taking part will provide new ideas relating to the turfgrass industry. So why would you miss this? November 27th at the Cutten club, hope to see you there.
Good point about the beat-the-clock speaker topics resonating over lunch. The class members assigned to each table should take note of this, and try to promote discussion based on these topics.
