Dean's Message Dear stakeholders and supporters of TSU’s Land-Grant Programs, It seems we are finally going to be able to manage COVID 19 as an endemic disease and get on with our life! In Tennessee, the positivity rate has dramatically dropped to 10% in recent weeks. Our research program continues to excel. On page two, there is a graphic description of how the College of Agriculture research far exceeds all other colleges on the campus. TSUAg has been a leader in securing competitive grant funds from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and other federal agencies to solve grand challenges facing agricultural sector. Our extension staff continue to serve the Tennessee communities with exceptional passion, importantly in developing the youth through 4-H and FFA programs. We have recently hosted 150 FFA students. Our Fashion students thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Miami and learnt how the luxury fashion industry operates. Chandra Reddy, Dean Director of Research and Administrator of Extension
