College Celebration

On Friday, October 9, 2009 the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will bestow the Awards of Distinction at its 21st annual College Celebration. The event is held each year at harvest time to celebrate the advancement and accomplishments of our college and its impact on agriculture and the environment.
