ALEC Former Students and Friends,
Spring semesters offer an incredible slate of opportunities for students to participate in organizations, research conferences, participate in Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service programs as well as special programs that honor our many scholarship donors. Our undergraduate student enrollment this spring is 790 (up from 710 in the fall) and graduate student enrollment is 82 (down from 85 in the fall).
This fall, we look forward to transitioning an undergraduate minor in Applied Youth Development into the department. In Fall 2024, we plan to transition a Master of Applied Youth Development into the department. This will be a great program for students who desire to work with 4-H youth through agencies such as Boys Clubs, Girls Clubs, Scouts USA, Navigators USA or faith-based youth ministries.
Please know that we wish you well and that our department is thriving under the leadership of Jeffrey W. Savell, Ph.D., vice chancellor and dean for Agriculture and Life Sciences.
If your travels bring you near the College Station area during the bluebonnet season, plan to stop by to say "hello." If so, feel free reach out to me or Michelle Payne so our office can arrange parking for you while on campus.
