The mission of the Development and Alumni Office is to serve as a resource and information center by promoting and enhancing the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. We are continually developing private support and building relationships via personal communications, special events, awards and recognition and fundraising. We facilitate opportunities for individuals, organizations, foundations and corporations to become our partners in research, education and extension.

         It is our vision to be the premier steward of donor and alumni relationships that recognizes and promotes the rich traditions, history and dynamic discoveries of our land-grant institution through meaningful partnerships worldwide.

         We are actively promoting and continuing the colleges tradition of “alumni and friend-“ generated support by establishing an extensive development program that offers our benefactors several opportunities to assist us in our mission of education, outreach and research.
