There’s real momentum building in the William H. Darr College of Agriculture. This Saturday, the Darr Agricultural Center will host Darr Difference Day, a celebration of service, community and the growing impact of agriculture at Missouri State University.
Darr Difference Day brings together Ag Bears and friends for a morning of hands-on projects that support the center. We mark this day to honor Bill Darr’s birthday, but it has become much more than a celebration. It’s a reflection of who we are.
As a cornerstone of Missouri’s economy, agriculture is also a vital and growing part of Missouri State. Through innovative programs, strong industry partnerships and experiential learning opportunities, the Darr College of Agriculture prepares students to lead in one of our state’s most important sectors.
Darr Difference Day reflects our public affairs mission and the drive behind our strategic plan. It connects hands-on learning with community partnerships that strengthen Missouri and its workforce.
Small Animal Education Center dedication
As part of the morning’s events, we’ll dedicate the Small Animal Education Center and the Ag Innovation Hub at 9 a.m. These new facilities expand student training and deepen our ties with the agricultural community.
I invite you to join us for this special dedication and to see firsthand how we’re investing in the future of agriculture at Missouri State.
A ‘Great College to Work For’
Missouri State’s in the running for national recognition through the Great Colleges to Work For® program.
On Sunday and yesterday, many full-time faculty and staff members received a confidential survey from the Great Colleges team as part of this national program. Participation is a key step in Goal 3 of our strategic plan, which calls on us to become an institution of choice for students and employees.
If you received the survey, I strongly encourage you to complete it. Your feedback will help us enhance our workplace culture and continue building a university where people are proud to work.
Thanks for checking in. It’s a great day to be a Bear!
