In 1951, through what is now the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences, the University of Arkansas became the first land-grant institution in the nation to assemble an agricultural foreign mission. Developed in concert with the U.S. government, the UA mission assisted Panama in establishing agricultural teaching, research and extension programs. The mission ended in 1957, but some of the 24 UA faculty members involved continued to assist Panama on agricultural issues. One faculty member, animal scientist Paul Noland, received Panamas top award for a non-Panamanian in 1997 for his contributions to the development of that nation’s agricultural sector.
