Baton Rouge, La - The Southern University Agricultural
Research and Extension Center held its 2015 Spring Convocation and Planning
Meeting culminating in a kickoff of the
125th Anniversary of the 1890 Land-Grant Act during the January SU System
Board Meeting.
The three-day convocation, which was held January 7-9, brought SU Ag Center employees from across the state together
in A. O. Williams Hall to share progress reports, clientele needs and strategic
plans for the year. Administrators, faculty and staff convened to review the
state of the Center while planning strategic ways of moving forward. The 2015 convocation
was unique because it also brought research, extension and teaching staff together
to collectively strategize working models that will ensure the improved well-being of all
the Center’s stakeholders.
During the opening session, Southern
University System President Ronald Mason joined the SU Ag Center’s Adell Brown,
Executive Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellor for Research and Gina E. Eubanks,
Vice Chancellor for Extension, to bring greetings to employees. In their opening remarks, Drs. Brown and Mason brought
hope and inspiration for the future of the Ag Center and
the Southern University System, despite anticipated budget cuts for the
Louisiana Higher Education System.
Concurrent Sessions consisted of five main areas: Agriculture and
Natural Resources; Community and Economic Development; Family and Human
Development; Nutrition and Health; and Youth Development. Other discussion
topics included Finance,
Technology/Communication, Plan of Work/Reporting, Data/Cyber Security and Human
Resources.
