Agribusiness Profs-for-a-Day

Our professional network is comprised of former students, donors and friends of the program and extends across Texas and beyond. We are fortunate to have some of those inspiring minds come visit Aggieland and serve as professors for a day, sharing with students some of the lessons they’ve learned through success and failure, as they’ve built their own enterprises.
