Children
in grades 4 through 6 who participated in the Blacks in Ag Career Day,
October 2000 received hands-on experience in some of the exciting career
areas in agriculture including animal husbandry and environmental horticulture.
The children interacted with Cal Poly Agriculture faculty and students

potted. Recently Donna Davis Coordinator of Retention & Outreach sent
