“The ACES Global Academy was a unique experience that helped me develop international partnerships and created new opportunities for my research, teaching, and extension programs.  After becoming familiar with resources and funding opportunities, I secured international grants from the USDA, the Worldwide University Network, and I was part of a larger European Union Center of Excellence grant and have developed programs with Zhejiang University in China and the University of Leeds. As a result of this international experience, I received a Fulbright Specialist award to work with the University of Buenos Aires – Faculty of Agriculture.” Dr. George Czapar, Extension
