The Stockbridge School of Agriculture asks for your help during UMassGives to support our talented students, dedicated faculty, cutting-edge research, and successful academic programs.
Here’s some of what we’re celebrating:

- Our Turfgrass program is the largest in New England, and our associate and bachelor's degree programs are ranked #1 and #2 nationally (collegefactual.com)
- Our Student Farm and Permaculture Initiatives produced 1800 pounds of fresh food for university dining commons, farmer’s markets, and community food pantries.
- The Stockbridge Internship Program, supported by our alumni employer network, leads to high employment rates at graduation.
- Funded by generous alumni, our student teams impressed industry judges by winning top scores at both the Turf Bowl and National Collegiate Landscape Competition.
- Our professors are winning national and international recognitions, including elite fellowship in top professional organizations.
Gifts from YOU—our community of alumni, friends, faculty, parents, staff, and students—enable us to provide high-quality education, contribute to scientific breakthroughs, and share our discoveries with the world.
