Winner of SASES Presdient's Trophy
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.
December 2017: Student of the Month
Aldo Garcia was the former president and led the club admirably. He was bestowed the Greenfield Scholars Award by the Agronomy Science Society of America, Crop Science Society of America, and Soil Science Societies. He attended the national conference and subsequently journeyed to Washington D.C. to meet with legislators to discuss agriculture today.
