Question for the land grant schools?

[jsupop33]

So, while browsing and working on a piece, I was reading up on the push for American Land Grant Universities to strengthen up their global activities. There seems to be a big demand for the knowledge and services of American agriculture schools in developing countries. A big desire for study abroad programs or even branches of the school.

Are any of our 1890 schools jumping on this bandwagon? I know Alcorn's President is leading a delegation to Kenya as part of an exploratory trip but don't know much about it.

AAMU has been on this bandwagon for years.

I think it would be nice to see an Alabama A&M University of Sudan, or Alabama A&M University at Monrovia

We do a lot of research with Africa schools. Go check out our Ag web page man. They are top notch.

They also do stuff with China and other countries.

yes, african schools and 1890s have been working together for years. My dad went on co-operative/joint missions to AFrica in the 80s and 90s. So yes, they are on the bandwagon.

PV's work with Liberia dates back to the 1950s. The University also has ongoing projects and partnerships in Ethiopia and Ghana.
