Leadership Summit

In October 2006, the National Academies held a two-day Leadership Summit to explore how universities can more successfully attract, retain, and prepare a diverse student population for careers at the intersections of agriculture, environmental and life sciences. The discussions at the summit helped to inform the study committee that authored Transforming Agricultural Education for a Changing World (2009).

This website is an archive of the information and presentations from that summit.
