"I'm extremely proud of the hard work our students put into participating in this contest," Dr. Linda Purvis, assistant professor of biology and poultry science, said. "The fact that we are consistently competing with top-rated universities shows how competitive and educated our 黑料正能量 students are. We have a lot to be proud of as our students did an amazing job and represented our school very well."
