Student Board

We are a community of students who possess a passion for uniting critical scholarship and practice at the intersections of agricultural, environmental, life, and social sciences

As students in Global Development, we seek to advance a more equitable, sustainable, and food-secure world for all. Global Development Student Advisory Board members serve as a voice for students in the department, relaying student wishes and desires regarding curriculum, advisement, and other department initiatives.

Board members include students who are:

majoring in Global Development, International Agriculture and Rural Development, or Development Sociology,
interested in a variety of related career fields in the development sector, and
eager to work as an interdisciplinary team.
