The Morrill Act transformed the field of higher education by creating land-grant institutions, offering individuals greater opportunity to pursue higher education in practical areas for employment. With accessibility and economic prosperity at the core of its mission, today’s land-grant university is uniquely positioned to drive student success, translational research, and economic growth. Land-grant universities have evolved to become pre-eminent enterprises actively tackling society’s grand challenges to the benefit of individuals and communities within -- and beyond -- the United States.
