USDA Faculty Exchange Program Helps Tuskegee University Expand Its International Impact

FAS staff visit with the Faculty Exchange Program Fellows studying at Tuskegee University.

USDA Faculty Exchange Program Helps Tuskegee University Expand Its International Impact

For 10 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Faculty Exchange Program Fellows from Africa, the Spring 2023 semester started with a journey thousands of miles from home to embark on a new and exciting academic exchange at Tuskegee University, our nation's only historically black college or university with a fully accredited College of Veterinary Medicine. This tremendous opportunity came about when USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) selected Tuskegee as a first-time program implementor of the Faculty Exchange Program.

Through the program, USDA awarded Tuskegee $400,000 to host the Faculty Exchange Program for visiting agricultural and veterinary educators from Africa. Working side-by-side with faculty mentors at the prestigious university, the fellows have spent the semester focusing on new teaching techniques, curriculum development, and research in areas including animal health, feed quality and safety, phytosanitary measures, and grading and standards.
