Turfgrasss education programs at colleges and universities around the country have long fueled the future of the industry, educating and training the next generation of superintendents. But the slumping global economy, a lack of awareness about careers in golf and spotty support from their university leaders have put many turf schools back on their heels.

In this issue of GCM, contributing writer Terry Ostmeyer examines the state of turfgrass education and what schools around the country are doing to overcome many of the challenges they face every day. This month’s cover design was created by Roger Billings, GCSAA’s senior manager of creative services.
