Faces of AgSci
"Studying sustainability at OSU has taught me a lot. Most importantly, it has taught me that ecological, economic, and social systems are interconnected, and for there to be change, it requires understanding all parts of these systems. At the end of the day, it’s not just a degree for me but a commitment to making better decisions for the planet, people, and prosperity." ~ Fatima Flores, ’25
