(L to R) Ohio Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Central State University (CSU) President Cynthia Jackson Hammond share a laugh together at CSU in Wilberforce, OH on Tuesday, Oct. 7, 201. Secretary Vilsack delivered remarks to welcoming CSU as a newly designated historically black land-grant university (1890). Secretary Vilsack spoke about the importance of the partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and 1890 institutions and how this partnership allows USDA to work more directly with the next generation of agricultural leaders. Central State University’s designation as an 1890 land-grant university was made possible by passage of the historic 2014 Farm Bill. USDA photo by Diane Johnson.
