Jordan Allen , bioBeing a member of CAIA means being able to connect with a community of like-minded individuals looking to enhance our agricultural processes in unique ways. It also means fostering ideas that can benefit something way bigger than ourselves. I think CAIA could bring real change to our world as a whole because agriculture is a language that we all speak around the world.
We are an official VT Student Organization!
The CAIA Graduate Student Affiliates are looking to grow! This is a newly formed group looking to operate within CAIA while interacting with students across different departments and research focuses.
