4) Panel Business
    a) Are changes needed for any of the panel’s current descriptors and/or course approval criteria?
~ Consider revising the AG 902 descriptor to specify/clarify what animals (e.g., companion vs. livestock) must be covered within the course for approval.

    b) Outstanding / ongoing topics from previous panel meeting(s)
~ New descriptor possible for Farm Management or Agri-Business but would need to be offered at a majority of the 4-years. Discuss findings for which institutions are offering a similar course.

    d) Other discussion items from panel members
    e) Next meeting(s):
