You're invited to join us for the 8th annual AGNR Cornerstone Event!
This year's event will take place on Tuesday, November 10 beginning at 10:00 am in the Grand Ballroom in The Stamp Student Union, University of Maryland, College Park. The event is free and open to the public. Guests may also register on-site the day of the event.
Our keynote speaker will be Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute. He will deliver a talk on the politics and economics of global food security, a topic highly relevant and timely to our work. Following his talk, there will be a moderated Q&A.
In addition to Johan's keynote, we will offer free parking, a catered lunch, a poster competition featuring the excellent work of our students, and some social time to mingle with friends and colleagues.
