JUNE 28 – JULY 1

INnovation, IN Learning, IN the Heartland

Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana On behalf of Purdue Agriculture, I am delighted to welcome you to the 63rd Annual NACTA Conference! We’re honored to host this year’s event to advance the scholarship of teaching and learning. WELCOME

Indiana agriculture is a $30+ billion industry. Yes, you saw plenty of corn and soybeans on your trip to our campus. And, we are also a major producer of pork, poultry (especially ducks and turkeys), eggs, and milk. But, Indiana agriculture is also melons, tomatoes, popcorn, mint, and hardwood lumber and forest products. Beyond production agriculture, this is a state committed to the development of the next generation of agricultural technology through creative public/private partnerships.

We could not be more passionate about our land-grant mission at Purdue. And, it’s an exciting time here: our undergraduate enrollment across our 11 academic departments was 2736 in Fall of 2016, our highest enrollment since 1982.

We are excited to be part of the University’s Purdue Moves initiative with the launch of our Plant Sciences Institute, and we are looking forward to moving into a new home for our Animal Sciences Department this fall – with a new home for Agricultural and Biological Engineering coming in 2020.

Indiana continues to enjoy a strong county Extension network, while at the same time launching new campus-based initiatives such as the Center for Commercial Agriculture. Internationally, we launched a new initiative focused on post-harvest storage and processing last fall.

Like you, we work hard to keep the first land-grant mission – our teaching mission – at the center of all we do. To that end, the University has made major commitments to reshaping the way we teach through programs such as IMPACT, and will be opening the new Wilmeth Active Learning Center this fall that will redefine the concept of the university library.

It is a dynamic and exciting time in education and events like this NACTA Conference give us the chance to think boldly about how we approach our fundamentally important responsibility of preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders. Beyond the conference, we sure hope you’ll have an opportunity to experience some of the attractions here in West Lafayette/Lafayette and the mid-North Indiana region.

Again, welcome to Purdue and have a great conference!

All the best,

Jay T. Akridge Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture
