CHAMPAIGN, Ill., January 22, 2019 – The Poultry Science Association Foundation (PSA Foundation) is pleased to announce a $50,000 gift pledge over five years from Huvepharma Inc. This generous contribution to the future education of deserving students in poultry science will be highlighted during the 2019 International Production and Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Continuing Education Endowment will support poultry science students who are interested in attending graduate school for M.S., Ph.D. and DVM degrees.
“Huvepharma acknowledges the critical need for preparing the next generation of talented young scientists to serve as the leadership in the poultry industry. Our industry has excellent opportunities for these young people, and we want to do our part to help incentivize the most talented students to want to join us in helping to feed the world” stated Mark Sullivan, Director of Sales-Poultry Business Unit, Huvepharma, Inc.
