Their goal is to attract attention and any at- tention you give them will only help their cause. Convention staff have a plan in place to handle these situations, and they depend on our cooperation. If members of the media approach you for an interview about the disturbance, please politely decline and direct them to the convention’s media room, where spokespersons will be available. Thank you for your cooperation. Welcome to ADSA 2018! On behalf of the American Dairy Science Association, we welcome you to Knoxville and the 2018 ADSA Annual Meeting: Integrating Dairy Science Globally. These next few days are filled with dairy science, networking, and connecting with old and new friends. Similar to last year, we have several great pre- meeting workshops on Sunday focused on a variety of topics: a half-day teaching workshop on active learning activities in the classroom, a full-day workshop devoted to management of dairy records, a half-day workshop on spore management practices, and a full-day workshop on nutrition models. Additionally, we have a mini-symposium on fiber research priorities, which is a follow-up to one of our DiscoverSM Conferences. If you are interested in a free event, we will have the late-breaking abstract ses- sion on Sunday afternoon, which is a great opportunity to hear the latest research and network with other dairy scientists. Our graduate student division (GSD) will be offering a manuscript-writing sym- posium as well. Please be sure to join us at the revamped opening session to hear my remarks on the state of our association. On Monday, we will have some platform sessions — where we have one or two speakers presenting on a topic, followed by related scientific presentations. We have some exciting half-day symposium sessions as well. Both our graduate students and undergraduate students will be busy competing, so please make sure to stop by and see them in action. Another important stop is the exhibit hall (open 8 am to 5 pm on Monday and 8 am to 4 pm on Tuesday), where you can see and learn about some of the latest technologies, services, and products for dairy science. However you enjoy your day, please plan to attend Monday evening’s Awards Program and Ceremony, followed by the ice cream social. Both are great opportunities to network and make new connections. On Tuesday, it is back to posters, symposia, and scientific sessions. I am sure that there will be something for everyone and probably so many good options that it will be hard to choose! We also have our division meetings and I encourage you to join in and participate at the division level. A new event, the Graduate Student Division Poster Session Mixer for students, industry, and academia, is scheduled for Tuesday evening, and I encourage you to attend this session, which is designed to promote engagement between graduate students and other academia and industry folks. Finally, on Wednesday morning, we have the ADSA business meeting and open forum followed by symposia and scientific sessions. Also new this year are the Undergraduate Small Group Mentoring Sessions. This ADSA Mentor Program connects professional members with undergraduate students for small group mentoring sessions during the annual meeting. The plan is to have professional members and ADSA Past Presidents meet with small groups of students to attend scientific presentations by in- terest area. Please be sure to add both the mentoring sessions and GSD poster session mixer to your calendar — both events will show you the future of our industry and provide some unique networking opportunities. To reach this point of the meeting, we have had the help of some amazing volunteers and staff! My sincere thanks to Cathy Williams (overall program chair) and her committee: Mike VandeHaar, Tom McFadden, Trish Dawson, Paul Kindstedt, Zey Ustunol, and Mike Miller. Also, sincere thanks to the FASS staff and our executive director, Peter Studney, for their organizational skills and efforts in bringing many diverse ideas together to create this meeting. I would like to recognize our sponsors and vol- unteers for delivering an outstanding meeting. And, of course, special thanks to our speakers, presenters, and exhibitors—we would not have this fantastic meeting without you. Finally, thank you for coming and joining the sessions, events, and discussions that provide vitality to our global dairy science meeting. We value your contributions and look forward to what will come next! Have great meetings!
