WINNER of 2017 SASES President's Trophy
November 7, 2017
The Fresno State Plant Science Club again received the President’s Trophy for beating many of the nation’s top agricultural universities at the recent Students of Agronomy, Soils and Environmental Sciences national club speech contest.
The nation’s top university plant science competition was held Oct. 22 at the Tri-Societies national conference (American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America and Soil Science Society of America) in Tampa, Florida.
Fresno State claimed similar top honors in 2012, 2014 and 2016 for its presentation about the club’s community service, educational outreach and professionalism in plant, crop and soil sciences.
Other notable universities that competed in the 15-team field included Auburn, Colorado State, Iowa State, Kansas State, North Carolina State, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Texas A&M.
“I could not be more proud of our club members for their representation of our University and California agriculture,” said senior club president Vivien Maier, of Belmont. “The conference was also an incredible opportunity to meet industry leaders and fellow agricultural students and learn more about research being conducted internationally that is tied to our future careers.”
Among the 12 Fresno State students who attended the conference, Maier delivered the team’s PowerPoint presentation.

“History is largely a record of human struggle to wrest the land from nature, because man relies for sustenance on the products of the soil. So direct, is the relationship between soil erosion, the productivity of the land, and the prosperity of people, that the history of mankind, to a considerable degree at least, may be interpreted in terms of the soil and what has happened to it as the result of human use.”
