The Department of Agriculture recently hosted its Agriculture 3 Minute Presentation (AGR 3MP) contest on April 20 for undergraduate students to showcase their research. The event was created to highlight the diverse range of research being undertaken by students within the department. This year’s event had eight participants representing five different agriculture majors, and the students were advised by nine faculty members.
