The Agriculture Learning Community is for students of all academic levels interested in agriculture and rural issues. In this community, residents will live and study collaboratively with other students interested in agriculture, food science and natural resources. Students deepen their understanding of the field through interaction with others at various academic levels. Agriculture faculty members are also actively involved in a variety of settings. In many ways, the Agriculture Learning Community becomes a family in which students can make many friends who share their interests.
