The curriculum club for the graduate programs is the G.O. in Ag. Ed. Club. It has two major purposes; namely providing social activities for graduate students, and organizing professional development activities (e.g. attendance at conferences). The G.O. in Ag. Ed. Club also helps in recruiting new graduate students and also appoints some of its members to standing departmental committees. Dr. Nancy Grudens-Schuck serves as the faculty advisor.

Graduate students interest in an assistantship from the department should contact the AGEDS department chair at the time that application is made for graduate education.
