The 2023 Shell Academy Virtual Edition will be presented on April 24th through 28th, 2023. The program will provide interactive class sessions on egg quality and food safety, using Zoom. The Academy will be presented in both English and Spanish versions.
The two components of the course will include Live Hen Production on April 24 – 26, noon to 14H30 EST followed by Egg Processing and Food Safety April 26 – 28.
Registration will range from $20 per course per student (current undergraduate or graduate) at colleges or universities to $750 per course per person for individuals.
The organizers of the Shell Academy should justify what might be regarded as an exorbitant cost for participation in a Zoom program for other than bone fide students. The organizers and presenters are employees of Land Grant Universities or egg production companies and financial sponsorship has been provided by the industry. The Shell Egg Academy is an educational endeavor with the objective of improving quality and safety for the benefit of both the entire industry and consumers.
