AGNR Cornerstone Event- Join us on October 24th!

Students -  an early agenda and registration are now available for AGNR’s 5th annual Cornerstone event. This year's Cornerstone celebration is scheduled for Tuesday, October 24 from 8:30 am - 5 pm, and will celebrate and build partnerships around the college’s strategic initiative: Advance Innovative, Profitable, and Sustainable Agricultural Production Systems. 

We will feature Randy Day, recently retired CEO of Perdue Farms, as our keynote speaker. Randy worked with Perdue for more than 40 years, and he possesses a unique understanding of and perspective on agribusiness and food production here in Maryland and beyond. 

AGNR is driven by its five strategic initiatives, and this is an excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of the impact we are making in the agricultural production arena across research, academics, and Extension.

Aside from experiencing Randy's talk, you will have access to a number of concurrent sessions focused on progress and profitability, urban agriculture and small and beginning farmers, protecting the Chesapeake Bay, international agriculture, and more. Additionally, we will offer free parking, a catered lunch, a poster competition featuring the brilliant work of our students, and a social hour to mingle with friends and colleagues. 

Hope to see you there!
