A new web site is being developed for the Agricultural Economics Association of Georgia. This page describes the Association and its many activities, including J.W. Fanning Lecture series, Journal of Agribusiness, scholarship program, internships, lecturers, etc. Internships and visiting lecturers are described briefly below, but visit the web site for more details. The Agricultural and Applied Economics Department has several development opportunities to be considered. First, the department has already received several contributions to support a distinguished professorship in agricultural marketing.
Additional support is needed to fully fund the distinguished professorship.
The second proposal is endowments for scholarships and assistantships. Scholarships have been established for Dr. John William Firor and Dr. Roy Estes Proctor. Additional funds in these scholarships and new scholarships honoring other distinguished agricultural and applied economists would help attract top students and strengthen the Department's academic program. Other important development opportunities include the Department's Improvement Fund and Leadership Awards for students. Your financial support of the Agricultural and Applied Economics programs is critical and greatly appreciated.
