On April 18, we invite our Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment family to unite in support our students. Your gift will help our students explore opportunities outside the classroom, such as hand-on learning in research labs, leadership development at conferences, professional experiences like internships, and so much more.
Thanks to the generosity of two donors, your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar for the first $10,000 in gifts:
David Jacobs, owner of Jacobs Farm LLC in Stamping Ground, Kentucky, has provided a $5,000 matching gift to ensure that financial limitations don’t prevent our students from furthering their education and pursuing their dreams.
Carmen and John Agouridis have also provided a $5,000 matching gift. Carmen, who serves the college as the senior associate dean, knows from personal experience how many doors can be opened for students outside the classroom: “An experience I had outside the classroom changed the trajectory of my life, and I hope this gift will do the same for our students.”
Help us guarantee that all our students have access to enriching activities that will enhance their education and promote personal growth. Together, we can cultivate a generation of leaders who are prepared and committed to making positive impacts in Kentucky and beyond.
