Stay connected with VSU College of Agriculture!

One thing we all learned coming together, is that agriculture is everywhere and in everything.

It’s business and supply chains. It’s biology, chemistry, and food safety. It’s tech, drones, and precision farming. It’s public health and food access. It’s policy and law. It’s marketing, communications, and education.

This is what Rooted and Rising looks like in the College of Agriculture. Come grow with us. 🌱

Thank you, Trojans. 🧡💙

The room was PACKED and it was a beautiful sight. Seeing this many of you come out to our VSU College of Agriculture Welcome Back Cookout says something special about the College of Agriculture, and we are most grateful!

It was a pleasure sharing space, fellowshipping, and having the chance to take some of you on a brief tour of Randolph Farm. And remember, that was just a taste of our 416 acre learning farm! You have all school year to schedule a more in-depth tour, so get with us for more information.

To everyone who helped serve and provide donations for today's meal, thank you. You kept the line moving and the plates full. To our alumni who spent the day with us, we also give thanks for sharing your stories. Our students need to see where this degree can take them, and you showed them.

And to our faculty, staff, and leadership who made this possible, we appreciate YOU.

We’re looking forward to an amazing school year. This is only the start of everything we have to offer, so stay in contact with us and follow our page for what’s next.
