Abstract:
Many universities encounter considerable difficulty recruiting ethnic minorities to undergraduate food and agricultural sciences majors. Consequently, several authors have recommended that more proactive approaches be implemented. This case study focuses on one approach involving a pre-college worksliop for high school students. The findings indicate that the participants acquired significant amounts of knowledge about the food and agricultural sciences. Also, a year after the workshop, the students' positive attitudes had been maintained and several positive academic behaviors were noted. Implications for practice were derived.
