As we enter this thankful and festive time of the year, please take a moment to enjoy a short video from us in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. I hope you find that it imparts — quietly, yet with great feeling — a message of thanks to you and all our alumni, friends and partners for the many ways you demonstrate support for our students, faculty, staff and programs.
In the video, you see glimpses of “signs of the times” that help enumerate our reasons to be thankful, including:
-
Top 10 world’s best ag colleges
-
98% placement rate
-
Nation’s #1 ag and life sciences career fair
-
Nation’s #3 ag undergrad enrollment
-
8 national teaching awards in past 9 years
-
Online education growth of 97% since 2009
-
Over $2 million in scholarships awarded annually
One more number worth noting: We have 40,000-plus alumni making a difference worldwide today. Of all our signs of the times, that is the one we’d want on the Jumbotron!
From all of us in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, we send you our gratitude during this blessed season and best wishes for what lies ahead in 2016!
