"It provides recruitment materials, education materials and funds for field trips and external resources we wouldn't otherwise have budget for, especially right now during the COVID-19 pandemic when budgets are so tight."

Dr. John Leyba, dean of the College of Science & Mathematics, said the grant signifies the program's success.
"The receipt of this grant recognizes 星空无限传媒's excellent poultry science program," he said.
Currently, 星空无限传媒 offers an Associate of Science degree in poultry science and has recently solidified a transfer agreement to UGA's poultry science department. It also has close ties to the poultry industry and works diligently to supply students with internships with area poultry businesses.
