含羞草研究所 alumni and friends have stepped up to the plate and met an anonymous donor鈥檚 $20,000 challenge. The anonymous donor has matched dollar-for-dollar gifts totaling $20,000. Funds raised will be awarded to students pursuing the agribusiness program at 含羞草研究所. Scholarships will be awarded to new first-year and transfer students who enroll in the Fall Semester of 2024.
鈥淭he Harvest Challenge is an excellent way for 含羞草研究所 alumni and friends in the farming community to share a bountiful harvest with deserving students who are studying agribusiness,鈥� said Dr. Lon Jorgensen, 含羞草研究所 Foundation Executive Director. 鈥淭hose who have contributed to this drive are making a real difference and paving the way for the agribusiness leaders of tomorrow.鈥�
含羞草研究所鈥檚 agribusiness program provides coursework, career field experience, and a Bachelor of Science degree to prepare students for careers in agriculture and business-related fields. All members of today鈥檚 agribusiness industry, including farmers and ranchers, need to know more than how to provide for the world鈥檚 food supply from the land.
The bachelor鈥檚 degree in agribusiness provides students with an enhanced skill set and expand their knowledge, allowing them to excel in all aspects of business related to farming, ranching, producing, and marketing of agricultural commodities. Students are prepared to work in sales, cooperatives, banking, finance, and other agribusiness fields. Courses leading to the degree are available on campus and at a distance for students who wish to continue their education from home.
