In 2002, Alcorn State wrote the original grant that began the AgDiscovery Program that has now become a premier program with the United States Department of Agriculture. The AgDiscovery Program is based off of the former Ag Academy Camp created by Drs. Kenneth Stallings, professor of animal science, Cassandra Vaughn, assistant professor of animal science, and Gwendolyn Boyd, associate professor of plant and soil science. The camp was originally created for younger children.
