Growing Global Connections through Agriculture : a virtual series

 

Thank you for joining MAST International as we launch our virtual series designed to showcase the strength and reach of the MAST program and to help celebrate 75 years of MAST’s impact. 

This series is for anyone involved with MAST- past or present, those interested in joining the program, or curious about building global connections through agriculture. Through thoughtful panel discussions and personal stories from alumni and hosts, we’ll explore how MAST has advanced careers, expanded international networks, and supported meaningful growth in the agricultural field.

Following the panel, you’ll have the chance to engage in breakout conversations to build connections and exchange insights with others in the MAST community.
