TTU leaders on project

Dr. Nan Li
Working with campaigns class on behalf of TDA

"We want to help the TDA to establish some central themes, cool messages and videos that they can send out to a wide audience, and also turn this in to a learning opportunity for our students."

"I feel like it is more beneficial for our students to take this as a great opportunity to apply some of their learned knowledge and skills."

Wanted TTU to have this opportunity

Wants to help TDA and TTU

Had leftover money in budget- came up with this project

TTU Ag Ed grad (took lots of ag com classes because it was not a degree yet)

"The end goal is to create pieces of information and outreach that alert people on chemicals and the danger. If you see something that has a skull and cross bones on it, you will know what to do with it: stay away from it. It is creating those pieces that TDA can use for their advertising, plus Tech can use as well."

"He just wants it to create outreach: all the way from farm people to the ones that don't know anything about chemicals."

Ag Com professor
