Purdue Dean of Agriculture visits Plymouth High School


Dr. Jay Akridge, Dean of Purdue’s School of Agriculture, took time to meet with Plymouth High School students to discuss opportunities available to them in the Agricultural Sciences. He stressed the importance of skills learned in the classroom as well as extra-curricular programs like 4-H and FFA.

The Agriculture field is ripe with opportunities for students in Food Science, Plant Sciences, Bio-chemical Engineering, Forestry and Land Management, and various aspects of Farm Management and Production Farming. There are more jobs than graduates in most of the programs and this trend is growing, providing a bright future for those who prepare themselves to enter this field.
