USDA/1890 Liaison Officers are USDA employees who are assigned to the 1890 institutions as USDA representatives. Liaison officers provide coordination between USDA and the 1890 Historically Black Land-Grant Institutions and Tuskegee University. They also recruit high school students to attend one of the eighteen 1890 Historically Black Land-Grant Institutions and Tuskegee University. As USDA representatives on the campuses, the liaison officers counsel students on USDA employment opportunities and develop new approaches for USDA to reach small-scale, limited-resource and
minority farmers.
