Texas A&M ‘Science Influencers’ program designed to develop students’ communications abilities
A new initiative of the Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication in Texas A&M University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will help students communicate and influence factual public discourse around agricultural science.
This work is supported by a $500,000 grant from the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative‘s Research and Extension Experiences for Undergraduates program area within the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
With opportunities for experiences and mentorships with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas A&M AgriLife Research and throughout the Texas A&M University System, the wide-reaching program aims to equip students with the skills for effective communications of science-based information across multimedia platforms including social media networks and via written and video blogs.
