ELU
The Experiential Learning at UTRGV and USDA (ELU2) Program is managed by Dr. Megan Keniry. The goals of the USDA H.S.I. Program are to recruit and retain underrepresented students to B.S. and M.S. programs, provide student experiential learning for undergraduate and graduate students, and channel them to Ph.D.-level studies or to USDA careers in the NIFA priority areas of Water for Agriculture, Food Safety and Childhood Obesity and Prevention. The ELU2 Program provides financial support and mentoring for student researchers, GRE preparation, paid internships at USDA facilities and a USDA seminar series. This program will strengthen UTRGV and TAMUK experiential learning programs that attract and retain outstanding underrepresented students to the USDA and national scientific work forces.
