Baton Rouge, La - Research
scientists who hold joint appointment on the SUBR campus and Southern
University Ag Center are mentoring students to present their research findings
at the 2013 ARD Symposium scheduled for April 8 in Jacksonville, Florida. The
scientists have been working with 13 graduate and undergraduate students
towards the 17th Biennial competition. The Symposium targets
students from 1890 institutions across the nation, vying for top cash prizes in
a stiff competition.
The Association of
1890 Research Directors (ARD), Inc. is the
federation of the 18 autonomous 1890 land grant universities that provides
coordination of research initiatives among member 1890 Institutions in
cooperation with federal, state and private partners.
In 1890,
Congress passed the Second Morrill Act for the enhancement of African American
higher education. Since
then, the Historically Black Land-Grant Institutions, commonly referred to as
1890 Institutions and located in 17 Southeastern states, have served as a vital
national resource by supplying most of America’s university trained black
population in the land-grant tradition. The 1890 institutions have a
strong commitment to improving social and economic success for the United
States.
