The Global Programs Office historical report provides a snapshot of global programs in the Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences in response to key initiatives for improving livelihoods in developing and transitioning countries around the world from 1987-2020 and is divided within the major time frames of 1987-2000 and 2001-2020. It is organized thematically within those timeframes to capture how the College responded to global needs and partnerships within a geopolitical framework. The report also showcases Global Program’s ongoing priorities, successful public/private partnerships, and a robust study abroad program within the College.

Hoffman, covers the years 1945-1986. It is available online. Denise Bjelland, the former Director, authored this report with layout assistance from Nicole Hurlburt, the communications specialist.
