COLLEGE STATION, TX â Texas A&M University has received a $500,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, to help combat misinformation about rural America and agriculture science.
The wide-reaching program aims to equip students with the skills for effective communications of science-based information across multimedia platforms, including social media networks and via written and video blogs.
Next fall, 30 Aggies will be selected and paired with a mentor from one of the 11 different schools in the A&M University System.
