The Premier Animal Science Event (PASE) is a two-day event designed to help youth learn about issues related to the animal industry, explore career opportunities that are available, compete with other teens from across the state and have FUN!

Opportunities for youth include livestock judging, meats judging and poultry judging, as well as livestock skill-a-thon and livestock quiz bowl. Youth can participate in more than one contest or event as their schedule allows. 4-H members may also participate in the Life Challenge contests that will be taking place on campus at the same time. In addition, youth will have chances to explore East Campus, meet with faculty members and current college students, and have fun with friends!
