In Ep. 94, Dr. Audrey McElroy will discuss challenges and goals as she moves into her new post at the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences division. She outlines plans to hire more faculty and attract more undergraduate and graduate students to the poultry science program, in addition to expanding current infrastructure and curriculum options. McElroy – who earned her bachelor’s, master’s and PhD degrees at Texas A&M – also discusses how the school aims to offer more diverse options to develop soft skills like communication enhancement and provide a better understanding of technology advances like artificial intelligence. She also notes that the department also hopes to provide options that could offer poultry science students the opportunity to branch into a business administration or law degree in addition to developing their poultry science skills as they prepare to find jobs within the processing industry.
