Dr. Gary Packard: UofA South update
03/08/2022
07:00 AM - 08:00 AM MST
Benson VFW
233 E 5th street
Benson, Az 85602
We will be having Dr. Gary Packard from the UofA College of Applied Science & Technology.
In 2019, the Arizona Board of Regents approved changing the name of UA South to the College of Applied Science and Technology (CAST). Established as an official branch campus in 1995, UA South sought to extend the University's educational mission to people living in Sierra Vista and the surrounding communities with targeted degree programs. The transition to the College of Applied Science and Technology ensures that the college will further the land grant mission of the University of Arizona by providing affordable, accessible higher education to students throughout rural areas of Southern Arizona.
Dr. Packard will be talking about the exciting new certificate and degree programs the college offers and the positive impact that brings to Cochise County.
Will have a light breakfast.
