Undeterred by cloudy skies, CAES alumni, faculty, staff and students celebrate Homecoming 2018.

The Greatest Homecoming on Earth is approaching, and the CAES will host the greatest welcome-back-alumni cookout on Earth during its annual CAES Homecoming Celebration.

This year, the celebration is 1-3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 25, on the lawn of B.C. Webb Hall. In store are fun games; door prizes; great food; entertainment; and, as always, the opportunity to reconnect with old friends, faculty and students. The CAES also will have a table for donations to the college or the department or program of your choice.

The North Carolina Pork Council has graciously agreed to match all gifts, up to $5,000, to the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, received Oct. 12-26. These funds will provide direct support to the needs of the college. Please consider showing your support for your Alma Mater with a donation of any size. Share the opportunity and encourage your fellow Aggies to give. Let’s show them our AGGIE PRIDE!

Please pre-register. Alumni can show up without registering in advance – but those who do will receive a first-class “boarding pass” for the buffet line.

Salad Days

Students and staff alike came to the Reid Greenhouse and Carver Hall to enjoy the annual Earth Day Plant Sale and free salad bar, featuring a wide selection of plants grown by CAES students in Specialty Crops and Plant Propagation classes, and raises funds for the Student Farm. In addition to the sale, free pick-your-own salads, grown in the nearby raised beds, were available with dressing and croutons provided. Professor Odile Huchette, who leads the project, said the free salad day has been going on for eight years, and the plant sale was added during the COVID pandemic. As the students grow and share the various plants, Huchette says, it creates the opportunity to tie together education and community service.
