Dr. Doug Morrish, Professor in Agricultural Sciences, and Associate Dean of Research, College of Applied Arts, received a $5 million USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant to encourage non-traditional agricultural audiences to consider potential careers in the food, agricultural, natural resources, and human sciences (FANH) workforce. This grant will include creation of a one-of-a-kind internship to provide annual internships for 55 students each academic year (fall, spring, and summer). Drs. Eryn Pierdolla, Nicole Wagner, and Pratheesh Omana Sudhakaran are Co-Project Directors on the grant.
