Presentation at SCJC: Mongolia: Half a World Away, or Right Next Door?

Join us Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 6 p.m. in SCJC 103 for a free presentation by Sheridan College Director of Agriculture Mae Smith on her experiences in Mangolia. This will also be live streamed via zoom at www.sheridan.edu/lectures.

Cookies and refreshments will be provided.

Outline:
Although Mongolia is around the world, Wyomingites will probably feel the same deep connection to the landscapes, culture and issues faced by the Mongolian people as I did. Join me as a I take you on a photographic journey of Mongolia’s Hustai National Park and surrounding areas. We will explore Przewalski’s wild horse, wildlife, livestock grazing, culture, food, transportation and other issues facing Mongolia. You may be surprised, as I was, about how many of these issues are also experienced by Wyoming livestock producers. However, there are some things that can only be experienced in Mongolia.

Biography:
Mae grew up in western Wyoming where she developed a love for the outdoors. From her experience cattle ranching, working at a native plant nursery and being raised by two natural resource professionals, she knew that rangeland management was her future path. She spends as much time outside as she can exploring locally, across the US and, whenever possible, internationally. She joined Sheridan College in 2017 as Director of Agriculture and Rangeland Management Instructor where she gets to help students develop their passion for rangelands.
