2017 has come and gone, but over the course of the past year, the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences has seen a multitude of accomplishments and welcomed many new faces to our community. We at Staff Advisory Council are very excited to see what the new year has in store for all staff within CFAES and overall in the great university that we call home. We hope you all have an incredible 2018!
