AgDiscovery (free summer enrichment program) applications are now being accepted until April 15, 2011 from middle and high school students (ages 12 - 17).

AgDiscovery is an outreach program to help students learn about careers in animal science, veterinary medicine, agribusiness and plant pathology. This 2-3 week program allows participants ages 12-17 to live on a college campus and learn about Agricultural science from university professors, practicing veterinarians and professionals working for the U.S. Government. Students chosen to participate in AgDiscovery will gain experience through hands-on labs, workshops, field trips and other group and team building activities.

The only program in North Carolina will be at NC State University July 18-29, 2011.
