Happy Anniversary!

Monday, April 16, 2012

Iowa State's Graduate Program in Sustainable Agriculture (GPSA) celebrated its 10th anniversary during the program's annual research symposium and poster session April 11. Since 2001, ISU has awarded 56 master's degrees, 14 doctorates and 15 minors in the program, which currently has 58 active students. ISU Professor Emeritus John Pesek reviewed its many ties with other issues and organizations (such as the Leopold Center) at the event.  Read the comments he prepared or listen to a podcast.
