Eric McCloud, Joe Schultze and Bob Torres, three Saul alumni who are now enrolled in the Col lege of Agriculture, explained why they decided to come to Penn State and discussed the challenges and opportunities offered by a col lege education. After the luncheon, the students divided into groups to attend con current educational activities on topics ranging from veterinary sci ence to horticulture. Some stu dents toured the college’s new computerized landscape planning facility. Dan Stearns, assistant professor of landscape contract ing, demonstrated how landscap ers can plan design projects direct ly cm the computer.
