Warm Greeting from AAACU!

We would like to inform you that the 2010 Biennial Convention of the AAACU will be held on October 27—29, 2010 in Guam (departure from Guam on the 30th).

An official letter will be forthcoming form the University of Guam so VISA’s into the United States can be obtained.

The theme of the convention is “Re-engineering the Agricultural Education System to address Food Security, Water Issues and Climate Change”.

We would like to request you to prepare a power point presentation about how your college is addressing either (1) Food Security, or (2) Water Issues, or (3) Climate Change. Twenty minutes will be set aside for each institutions report. Please let the organizing committee know which of the three (3) topics you will be presenting on. You can speak about more than one of these topics but will only be allotted 20 minutes. If there is someone at your institution that is an expert on either of these topics and you think they might be an excellent keynote speaker please send their name and e-mail address to us at domingo_angeles@yahoo.com or gem.mailum@gmail.com
