In September, the college hosted a delegation of seven from the Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouët-Boigny (INP-HB) Higher School of Agronomy (ESA) and the American Chamber of Commerce from Ivory Coast. The delegation was interested in learning about American educational practices, curriculum renewal and administrative structure of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The delegation toured the Ag 450 farm, the Kent Feed Mill and Grain Science Complex, the Horticultural Research Station, the Seed Science Center and met with many faculty and staff within CALS to better understand the land grant mission and how it is carried out.
