description	Due to educational barriers and group perceptions, few underrepresented groups are pursuing careers in agriculture. Traditionally, underrepresented groups have perceived agriculture as limited to farming, ranching and related careers. The purpose of this article is to present the evaluation of a successful recruitment and retention program for underrepresented groups by a college of agriculture. Students rated most of the program components as positive, identified other programs which had helped them, and rated their perception of the environment as positive. From interviews with the students involved in the program, both recruitment and retention models are presented.
