Engagement Report

The College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CFAES) recently released its 2018 CFAES-Brazil Engagement Report. Ohio States relationships in Brazil started in agriculture almost 60 years ago and have spread to other areas. CFAES still has strong ties and projects with many Brazilian institutions and an internship program that draws a great number of Brazilian students to the United States. Learn more about those and other collaborative teaching, research and outreach activities between CFAES and institutions in Brazil online.

Global Perspectives: Nnaemeka Anene

For Spring Break 2018, I spent my time in Salvador, Brazil. We visited a number of public and private universities and spoke to students of all backgrounds, religious beliefs and economic statuses. Going to Brazil changed my life. The conversations, the connections and the lives we touched made the trip so worthwhile. Seeing numerous famous buildings, churches and natural areas just added to the work we did learning about access to higher education.
