For a group of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences students, Thursday afternoons constitute a total “emersion education.”

Each Thursday, the students in the environmental hydrology lab go out in nature and develop hands-on skills on hydrologic field techniques and develop knowledge of hydrologic processes by actually getting their hands and feet wet in creeks, streams and ponds around the Purdue University campus.

Stuart Smith received the Teaching Academy Graduate Teaching Award and Ahmed Hashem received the Graduate Teacher Certificate. Congratulations!

A chat with farmers over a cup of coffee in a small Indiana town led to an invention that earned a team of four students first place in the 2018 Student Soybean Innovation Competition. Team SoyTack won $20,000 for its soy-based tackifier, a fast-curing, formaldehyde-free soil stabilizer. The Indiana Soybean Alliance has funded the competition since 1994.

In 2005, the College of Agriculture started a "Millionaire's Club." This exclusive club recognizes faculty who have been awarded a $1M or higher grant.

Purdue University's Board of Trustees approved faculty promotions at their meeting on April 6. ABE faculty were well-represented.

Learning communities (LCs) and learning community instructors (LCIs) provide a key method of integration into the Purdue community for first-year students. More than 3,700 Boilermakers participated in 61 LCs in Fall 2017.
