Master's International Program |
||
| On September 13, 2000, the College
of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture (CESTA) and the Office of
International Agriculture of Florida A&M University signed a Memorandum of Cooperation
with the United States Peace Corps establishing a Master’s International Program
(MIP) in Agriculture. The program description and course requirements have been posted to
the FAMU Web site http://famu.edu/acad/colleges/cesta/peacecorps/ and program brochures
are now available for distribution. Now that the MIP exists as a program we need students!!! With the purpose of publicizing the new MIP at FAMU, Dr. Jack Petersen recently presented a 15-minute slide show on his Peace Corps experiences in Burkina Faso, West Africa including an overview and description of the FAMU MIP. The presentation took place during the Informal Conference of the International Affairs Committee at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America, Montreal, Canada on December 6, 2000. The meeting was attended by 45 persons, including a handful of undergraduates who expressed an interest in joining the Peace Corps. In addition to the Informal Conference on Peace Corps opportunities, the International Affairs Committee organized a table of brochures and information packets about international programs. It was here that FAMU had the opportunity to publicize the new Master’s International Program in Agriculture. Reported by Jack Petersen – PHEREC |
