ABCA Impact
Thanks to fundraising, ABCA awarded $11,000 in scholarships to East Campus agriculture students during the 2024–25 academic year. The group also provided up to $10,000 in mini-grants for equipment and classroom resources to support hands-on learning. In addition, ABCA was the lead sponsor of the Agricultural Recognition Banquet, which celebrated student achievement and brought the East Campus community together to honor their success.
Continuing the Legacy
ABCA alumni help continue the legacy of East Campus by supporting students through mentorship, advocacy, and financial support—strengthening opportunities and helping the next generation turn their education into meaningful careers in agriculture.
