College Capitol Day Event Held March 9

The Penn State Ag Council (PSAC) and the Pennsylvania Council of Cooperative Extension Associations (PCCEA) co-sponsored this year's College Capitol Day on March 9 in Harrisburg. Approximately 150 college stakeholders - consisting of Ag Action Network, College of Ag Sciences Alumni Society, PSAC, and PCCEA members - attended. Advocates delivered information packets to all 253 legislative offices and personally communicated the importance of college research and extension programs in their communities, businesses, and lives.

If you attended capitol day, please be sure to send a thank you note to the offices you visited. If you could not attend, it is not too late to carry the message to your legislator!
