Roseworthy graduates have become leaders in agricultural and natural resource-based industries.

"Today Roseworthy is involved in national and international leading-edge technologies in a broad range of animal sciences, biotechnology and agronomy and is exploring the feasibility of establishing a postgraduate veterinary science school.

"The Roseworthy Campus and Student Fund will help ensure Roseworthy keeps producing future generations of leaders and innovators."

The Fund has appointed Australian agricultural identity John Crosby as Fund Patron and will be championed and managed by a high-profile committee of co-patrons under the chairmanship of The Hon Dr Bruce Eastick AM.

Dr Eastick said: "We are privileged to have someone of John Crosby's calibre as Patron of this Fund. John has been at the forefront of agriculture and agribusiness in Australia over many years and, as a Roseworthy graduate himself, is an ideal champion for Roseworthy."
