Our students also have the opportunity to experience internships abroad as a result of student travel funds. For example, Justin Stanton's internship brought him to Uruguay, where he was able to learn more about agriculture and plant diseases, as well as the culture. https://z.umn.edu/PLPAGive2018

“During a rigorous interview process, I pulled from the leadership and management skills that I developed during soil judging to land the job and begin my career. I now live and work in an area where we spent a week in soil pits determining clay percentage, hydraulic conductivity, and parent material. I apply those relevant skills to this landscape for the betterment of the growers and professionals that I work with on a daily basis.”

Stefan Swenson, Soil Judging alumnus

We need ALL of our alumni and friends to help us make a big push over the lunch hour. If all of our alumni gave $5 over the next hour we would easily surpass our goal and have pretty good odds of earning an extra $7,500 for having the largest number of gifts.

So donate now, tell your fellow alumni to donate and help us win! (That extra $7,500 would offer almost four additional scholarships, what an impact!).

We wanted to take the time to recognize and thank alumna Kathy Kromroy (M.S. 1982, Ph.D. 1999) for her support today! "I am honored to make a contribution to the Elwin L. Stewart Graduate Student Travel Fund. All of the travel experiences [I had during my graduate studies] brought me to some of the most meaningful experiences of my graduate career – meaningful in so, so many ways!" Thank you again Kathy for your support. You can join Kathy in supporting at http://z.umn.edu/PLPAGive2018

Kathy is pictured below receiving our Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2015.
