DENVER — The American National CattleWomen Inc. will launch of College Aggies Online, a new program aimed at helping today’s college students become confident advocates for the agriculture industry.
College Aggies Online, a joint venture of the Animal Agriculture Alliance and American National CattleWomen, Inc., will connect college students from across the country who are interested in promoting agriculture by sharing their story.
Participants will receive training and instructions from industry professionals and will enjoy access to a private forum (accessible at http://aggiesonline.ning.com) to post information about current and emerging issues facing farmers and ranchers.
Provide resources
The online community will provide resources to students on key issues to help them better utilize tools such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter to share agriculture’s story with the public.

College Aggies Online will officially launch Oct. 15.
