College Capitol Day Held on April 13

The Penn State Ag Council (PSAC) and the Penn State Extension Council (PSEC) co-sponsored this year's College Capitol Day on April 13 in Harrisburg.

Approximately 160 college stakeholders consisting of Ag Action Network, College of Ag Sciences Alumni, PSAC, and PSEC 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.

On behalf of the councils and the college, thank you to all of the advocates who attended! Feedback from legislators has been extremely positive.

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!
