An endowment has been established by HEB in the department of agricultural economics at Texas A&M University to provide fellowships for students pursuing graduate degrees and research in the economics of food supply chain management.

A reception was held recently on the Texas A&M campus in College Station.

“This endowment paves the way for future innovation in food supply chain discovery,” said Dr. Parr Rosson, department head. “We are extremely pleased to have HEB support us in these program areas as this will broaden the scope of study for our students and build excellence in our programs.”
