Dear students of Ohio State University,
My name is Melba Gastal, and I am a research faculty and coordinator of the Animal Science Short Course Program at Southern Illinois University. I am pleased to announce our upcoming Cattle Artificial Insemination Certification Course at SIU on Feb. 13-14, 2026. This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to become AI certified, whether to build your resume/CV or to be a competitive applicant when you enter the job market. I've attached the course flyer to this for anyone interested in getting some further information. And, if you would like to participate in the course, please make sure to send in the registration form and pay at least the non-refundable down payment by December 30 to reserve your spot. The final payment is not due until January 30 but can also be made at any time before then. There are only a few spots available, so be sure to register as soon as you can!
If you would like to receive the registration form for further information or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Short Course Program administrator Kendall Hyde at kendall.hyde@siu.edu or call the SIU Animal Science Short Course Program at (618) 319-3903.
