Sarah Curley International Experience Update 🇮🇪

"Working with Coolanowle Organic Meats has me doing a lot of things outside of my comfort zone! They've had me working in their greenhouse and helping in their butcher shop. I've gone to the markets each week where they sell some of their products. At the markets, I help out by taking photos and videos for their social media accounts and by keeping them updated throughout the week. On my days off, I've been able to travel throughout Ireland and see castles and parts of the coast!"

This past week former MIAP Graduate, Nicholas Ssebalamu, received the Women for OSU Scholarship. This scholarship was awarded to 17 OSU students who have a strong passion for philanthropy and display leadership in their communities.

We are proud of Nicholas in his continued success!!

Shawn Agar International Experience Update🇳🇿

"Grateful for a week of collaboration and learning in Auckland and Lincoln with the teams at Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research. We worked on organizing and analyzing narrative data from farmers, consumers, and policymakers—uncovering the story 'families' that shape decision‑making and influence land‑use and environmental outcomes.
I also connected with researchers across other Crown Research Institutes to explore interdisciplinary links, and had the chance to tour Lincoln University’s campus and farm facilities to better understand how applied research connects to industry and extension. A meaningful and inspiring week of ideas, insight, and partnership."
