26 Hours of Science & Technology in Agriculture

The Cal Poly Latinos in Agriculture Club, in collaboration with the Plant Science Department, hosted over 100 California high school students for this year's "26 Hours of Science & Technology in Agriculture" event, which provides students with a 26-hour tour of Cal Poly's diverse agricultural offerings, centers and departments. Plant pathology program leader Shashika Hewavitharana and several master's students provided instructional demonstrations and hands-on activities focusing on basic strawberry plant diseases and diagnostic tests. It was wonderful showing these students some of the great opportunities Cal Poly can offer!
