E. Carroll Joyner Beef Education Unit Dedicated

Key partners in North Carolina’s beef industry gathered Sept. 14 to celebrate the naming of NC State's Beef Education Unit after prominent College of Agriculture and Life Sciences alumnus E. Carroll Joyner. Joyner has played an active role in the university's agricultural program since graduating in 1956. He donated his Angus beef herd to NC State to start the North Carolina Cattleman’s Foundation in the 1980s, and his naming gift will help transform beef cattle education, research and extension programs in North Carolina for generations to come.
