HU Receives Gift for Strauss Animal Center

HUNTINGTON, Ind. — Huntington University’s Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies has received a $4,500 gift from Farm Credit Mid-America that will provide resources for the Don Strauss Animal Science Education Center.  

"This generous donation will be put towards educating our students in animal agriculture, especially through increasing experiential learning of animal production,” said Dr. Jessica Baggerman, assistant professor of agriculture. “Hands-on experience is invaluable to the education of agriculture students, and this support will allow for expanded opportunities for students to gain knowledge." 

The Don Strauss Animal Science Education Center will provide space for agriculture students to expand their firsthand knowledge of livestock in the agriculture industry. This most recent gift toward animal science education at Huntington University will benefit all agriculture students with a livestock component in their program.
