Rouge, La. – The Southern University Agricultural Land-Grant Campus -
consisting of the SU Ag Center and the SU College of Agricultural, Family and
Consumer Sciences – will host its 6th annual National Ag Day
celebration on April 10, 2018.
The interactive event themed, “Food
for Life,” will be held from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Southern University Event
Center and the SU Ag Center.
High school students will experience
live animal and food demonstrations, technology and more. Students will learn
how agriculture impacts their daily living and how to sustain a healthy living
for life through food.
“We will demonstrate and give
individuals the opportunity to see how agriculture is closely linked to science,
technology, engineering and math. It is a chance for students to journey
through agriculture gaining innovative hands-on learning experiences that they
will never forget,” said Dr. Renita Marshall, event organizer and chair of the
department of animal science at the SU College of Agricultural, Family and
Consumer Sciences.
Presentations in relevant areas will
be made by university faculty, staff, students and other community partners.
