Earl Casida, Penn State professor emeritus of microbiology, and his wife, Veronica, of State College, have given $100,000 to establish two scholarships in the College of Agricultural Sciences. The L. Earl and Veronica Casida Scholarship will benefit undergraduates who have outstanding academic achievement or promise. First preference will be given to students majoring in plant pathology. The L. Earl and Veronica Casida Graduate Scholarship in Plant Pathology will benefit academically outstanding graduate students.

Several participants stand in front of the conference room with peach branches and pruning shears. They demonstrate how they use pruning to manage fruit yield. Questions are asked, solutions contemplated, and years of experience shared—all in Spanish.
