Baton Rouge, La - The Southern University Agricultural
Research and Extension Center will hold its 2015 Spring Convocation and
Planning Meeting and kick off the 125th Anniversary of the 1890
Land-Grant Act. This year marks the 125th year of the Second
Morrill Act, which has produced brilliant scholars, outstanding research and
extension programs and continues to hold a bright future for African Americans
across the nation. The SU Ag Center has taken the charge to educate the largest
Historically Black University system and Louisiana citizens on the importance
of the Act and its impact on the nation’s agricultural system.
The three-day convocation will bring 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 convene once a year to review the state of the Center while planning on
strategic ways of moving forward. The 2015 Convocation is unique because it
will also bring research, extension and teaching staff together to strategize
on working better together to ensure improved well-being of all stakeholders.
