Happy First Day of Summer!
Summer brings long days, growing crops, busy farms, and new opportunities to learn, lead, and serve. As the season begins, Alpha Zeta celebrates the people working every day to support agriculture and natural resources.

Sustainable Gastronomy Day reminds us that every meal begins with agriculture.
From farmers and ranchers to researchers and educators, agriculture plays a vital role in producing food while caring for our natural resources. Today, we celebrate the connection between food, sustainability, and the people who make it possible.

Happy Flag Day!
Today we celebrate the values of service, leadership, and community while recognizing those who help strengthen and support our nation through agriculture and beyond.
