Dean's Message

Welcome to the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences (CAFS)! As Interim Dean, I am excited to lead this dedicated community of faculty, staff, and students who collectively “inspire excellence with kindness and caring.”

Established in 1891, CAFS enjoys a rich legacy as the original land grant component implemented at Florida A&M University. Through the tripartite concept, our internationally recognized faculty and staff prepare students for successful careers by offering comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs, innovative research, and socially relevant outreach programs.

We are excited to invite you to “Come Grow With Us!.”
