LSU delegation visits CALS to learn about agricultural programs
August 21, 2023 |
President William F. Tate IV of Louisiana State University was joined by a delegation of more than 20 people from his university to tour CALS and learn more about the college’s agricultural programs. This group of administrators, farmers, policy makers and donors have visited three other campuses already, always focused on the agricultural college. LSU chose UW so the group could learn about faculty governance and how it impacts decision-making, and the Wisconsin Idea, especially as it concerns our partnership with Extension.
