CEDAF Dominican Republic Project

The program to strengthen higher agricultural education and research in the Dominican Republic continued through this year. This program is financed by the Dominican Government which provided fellowships to three students who completed graduate degrees as at OSU

            Silvia de Camps – Veterinary Preventive Medicine

 A fourth student continued his PhD studied in Food Science and Technology. Danis-Feliz-Perez expects to obtain his PhD degree in 2007 after which he will return to University ISA in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Under this program, CFAES continued to provide support for three on-going M.S. degree programs in the Dominican Republic, namely, Soils at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, Biotechnology at the Superior Institute of Agriculture (ISA) in Santiago, and Ecology at the National University “Pedro Henriquez Urena” in Santo Domingo.
