ORANGEBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WACH) — The Deputy Secretary of Agriculture will visit South Carolina State University on Thursday morning.
Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small will visit SC State at 10 am to highlight the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s support for agricultural research and education.
Small will also meet with students to discuss potential career opportunities for the next generation of farmers, foresters, conservationists, and entrepreneurs.
