• Shawn Donkin (pictured) , Purdue University College of Agriculture
• Sarah Simpson, Indiana Board of Animal Health

The steering committee will be tasked with ensuring that the program meets the needs of the agricultural law market and appeals to a wide student base.  Members will also have input on the curriculum of the program, experiential and capstone learning opportunities and overall promotion of the program.

The committee began their work at the end of March with the goal of launching the new program in 2019.
