Through relevant research and engaging outreach, faculty and staff at the PIE Center make continual efforts to inform stakeholders, constituents and decision makers on the issues that impact the agricultural and natural resources sectors. The PIE Center set out to make this impact go even further this year by working diligently to influence undergraduate and graduate students through advising research projects and mentoring students’ development of communication skills. The PIE Center made significant impacts in the areas of research, outreach and media this year and we are excited to present those successes to you.
