"You inspire your students and your colleagues to understand where their food comes from, who grows it and the opportunities that exist for them in your community. You have gained admiration and respect from both your colleagues and the agriculture community because of your efforts."
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and Senior Administration, we extend congratulations and best wishes to Mrs. Canning!
