“Never in my life have I seen a more beau
fully broken country than Hai
. Every step I took there was one life‐changing
moment a er the other. “
– Caroline Chumakov
At the border of Haiti and the Dominican Republic (read more of
the 12-13 Haiti Win-ter Break’s blog) "O en
mes when we think of other countries, we tend to think of the
differences. A
er studying abroad, students focus on the similari
es between countries rather than the
differences."

Higher Educa
on Challenge Grant Program
Deadline February 8, 2013
The Higher Educa
on Challenge (HEC) Grants Program is a program focused on improving formal, postsecondary‐level agriculture sciences educa
on. Guided by cri
cal societal issues laid out in the “New Biology for the 21st Century” report, as well as the five compelling NIFA Priority Areas, HEC‐funded projects provide funding to eligible applicants to help ensure a competent, qualified and diverse workforce to serve the food and agricultural sciences system. At the same
me, HEC‐funded projects improve the economic health and viability of rural communi
es through the development of degree programs emphasizing new and emerging employment opportuni
es. Finally, HEC projects focus on the na
onal challenge to increase the number and diversity (i.e., having an agricultural sciences workforce representa
ve of the na
on’s popula
on) of students entering other food and agriculture‐related science, technology, engineering, and mathema
cs (STEM) disciplines.
USDA‐NIFA has refocused its mission to direct agricultural sciences research, educa
on, and extension programs on addressing the following five Priority Areas: Food Security and Hunger, Climate Change, Sustainable Energy, Childhood Obesity and Food Safety.
Public ins tu ons of higher educa
on are eligible to apply. The deadline is the close of business day on February 8, 2013. Please find the applica
on here.
