Students Get Hands-on Experience in Fresno State Vineyards Fresno State Vit Eno Image
The 1,000 acre university farm at Fresno State is known for its hands-on learning opportunities, and the 160-acre vineyard on campus is no exception.  As you drive down the vineyard avenues, you are bound to see several custom signs that represent a lot of hard work.  These colorful signs, created by our own vineyard enterprise project students, proudly display their name, hometown, and the grape variety they are responsible for managing - usually for one-year.    Read more in the latest newsletter on page 2.
Meet Our Visiting Scientists & Scholars Research scholars in lab
Fresno State's unique facilities and reputation for conducting practical research are known throughout the world.  As a result, several international research scientists have traveled to Fresno to be a part of the research team.  During their visits - which are usually six months to a year - these scientists work for and contribute to a specific research program at the Viticulture and Enology Research Center.  This year, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Guoqiang Du (China) and Dr. Antonio Santos (Brazil) will return to Fresno for a second visit.  Read more in the newsletter on page 7.

INTRODUCING THE CLASS OF 2007
 
"One of the best aspects of the program was the practical approach to learning.  Everything was focused on being prepared to contribute to the field once we enter the industry." --
