The AGS Program recruited a new full-time faculty member in the fall of 2018.  农业科学计划的定位是成长与两名全职教师.  AGS计划目前的重点是为学生提供农业科学的基础知识, including coursework in soil science, 植物科学, 动物科学和病虫害管理.  确定的增长领域包括实施校园农场，为我们的学生服务.  The farm will provide real world experience tied to our regional agriculture industry.

Student Learning/Administrative Unit Outcomes

While looking back we realized we need to look to the future, re-imagining our current curriculum in the
context of today's industry needs and the technological requirements of the future. 当前的COVID-19
景观正在挑战和破坏我们更新课程和建立EH的进程
程序. 我们已经把我们的课程发给全州农业咨询委员会审查

Strategy 4 - Increase number of paid work study students

Increase the allocation of federal work study dollars. 这些钱被用来临时雇用学生助理，并为我们的高级学生提供宝贵的实践经验.

One thing all agriculturalists pride themselves on is their real-world, 地面部队, 实践经验. We want to give our students as many of these opportunities as we can, and offer paid work experience positions to students. These positions include both farm and ag science student workers.
