Purdue Agriculture is the land of opportunity

By Randy Woodson, Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture

We recently welcomed students back to campus. We have more undergraduates again this year than the previous fall, as well as another large freshman class. While animal sciences continues to enroll the most freshmen, enrollment is growing in others areas, too, such as biochemistry and entomology. We're also seeing more students from non-rural backgrounds. This tells me that students are attracted to the wide variety of opportunities that an agriculture degree brings, and they're getting the message that Purdue Agriculture is farming and more.

Our students are our highest priority and our most important product. And our growing student enrollment is also a good sign for the entire agriculture industry.
