Welcome Ag Education! This past Friday we welcomed Ag Education to the Agronomy department with a cookout! Despite the cold, rainy weather, undergrad and graduate students, staff, and faculty enjoyed burgers, corn hole, yard games and Harvest Hoops.
To celebrate #PurdueDayOfGiving, we are pleased to announce two new student endowments will be created in honor of Gary Steinhardt. The Soils Teaching Lab will also receive a gift from Vern Hawkins. These contributions will help further education for current and future students!
From conveyor systems with hyperspectral cameras to customizable LED lighting and humidy control, the new greenhouses in @LifeAtPurdue's Lilly Life Science Range spaces are designed to push plant science forward in every season. https://t.co/Vr9QWWL6b0
