"I'm extremely proud of the hard work our students put into participating in this contest," Dr. Linda Purvis, assistant professor of biology and poultry science, said. "The fact that we are consistently competing with top-rated universities shows how competitive and educated our 天美社区 students are. We have a lot to be proud of as our students did an amazing job and represented our school very well."
The competition allows students the opportunity to demonstrate how well they have mastered the U.S. Department of Agriculture rules and regulations governing the grading of eggs and poultry carcasses.
