TUCKER, Ga. — The University of North Georgia has been awarded a $7,000 USPOULTRY Foundation grant to assist the college in recruiting students interested in poultry and related industry careers.
The grant was made possible by an endowing foundation gift from the Leland Bagwell Education and Innovation Fund. Leland Bagwell was the founder of American Proteins.
"It is important that we continue to interest young people to study careers in the poultry industry. We need astute young managers to join our companies, as they will be the leaders of our industry tomorrow," said Paul Hill, West Liberty Foods, and USPOULTRY. . .
