Agriculture Science Research Institute (ASRI) is a one-week residential program that allows students to grow their interests in STEM areas, experience Purdue’s campus life, and earn a college credit. To demonstrate research, innovation, and discovery in agriculture and science; Purdue Agriculture faculty, graduate students, and staff serve as research mentors of hands-on experiments and projects in their facilities throughout the week. Previously, students were hosted in Agricultural and Biological Engineering, Agronomy, Biochemistry, Botany and Plant Pathology, Food Science, and Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Departments.  Students will spend their days conducting various research projects and connecting with college leadership throughout the week. Students will present their findings and learning outcomes to their student peers, faculty and staff, and any guests during a culminating event at the end of the week. Take a look through some snapshots from last year’s program to see some highlights!
