The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $749,998 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to Texas A&M University-Kingsville to implement the "Expanding the Texas Scholar Program (Texas: Teaching with Experiential Learning in Animal Science)." This 5-year integrated project aims to increase the success of underrepresented minority students by preparing them to address needs in animal health, production, and products. The program will provide a minimum of 60 selected underrepresented students at three Hispanic-Serving Institutions with experiential learning opportunities, including student research, extension program participation, professional meetings, educational tours, job shadowing, journal clubs, and leadership development. The goal is to cultivate a diverse, highly-skilled workforce to contribute to innovations in animal production and global food security.
