Our good work continues.

The college’s programs are impressive. Signature areas of excellence include human nutrition and wellness, soybean production, biotechnology and genomics, animal nutrition, renewable energy, weed science, rural economic development, outdoor recreation, water quality and forest resource management. Research faculty members continue to aggressively identify global problems and concerns.

The college is planning to move forward with strategic initiatives to create academic opportunities for students to be highly engaged in hands-on learning activities. These experiences may take place on the Carbondale campus, around the state or nation and could even include international opportunities.

Your private support can fund scholarships or equipment and facilities needed for research. Also, you can invest in strategic initiatives by contributing to the college’s general support fund. Your partnership will provide a wide-ranging impact.
