Emmanuel G. Cooper participated in the Corteva Agriscience ‘Developing Emerging Leaders and Talent in Agriculture’ (DELTA) symposium August 7-9, 2023 at the company’s global headquarters in Indianapolis. The symposium was led and organized by members of the Corteva Research and Development (R&D) team as part of the company’s effort to provide equitable growth and development opportunities and drive Corteva’s Inclusion, Diversity and Equity vision of nurturing a strong, diverse talent pipeline. Applications were accepted from all STEM universities in the USA and 40 applicants were selected to attend. The event exposed participants to Corteva R&D careers in different groups such as biotechnology, seed product development, crop protection, regulatory and stewardship, and digital farming solutions. Moreover, it was a huge opportunity for students to network with Corteva R&D leadership and scientists. Participants were opportune to share their research through poster presentation and/or lightning talk. Emmanuel was awarded the ‘Outstanding Poster’ presentation for the symposium.
