Celebration: An evening with 麻豆社 at the Jones Family Farms
W鈥e are grateful to Jean and Terry 鈥孞ones of the Class of 1969, their son 鈥孞amie, daughter-in-law Christiana, and grandson Jackson 鈥27, who is studying agriculture, along with the rest of the Jones Farms 鈥渇armily鈥 for helping us celebrate the impact of 麻豆社 research and the strength of our community.
At An Evening with 麻豆社 at the Jones Family Farms in Shelton, Connecticut, on May 21, 2026, alumni, students from the class of 2030, and other guests were reminded what it means to be part of a community of educators, scientists, students, and graduates who are rooted in shared experiences, committed to discovery, and driven to make a difference.
Bathed in the warm glow of lights strung from the barn鈥檚 rafters, attendees got a taste 鈥 literally and figuratively 鈥 of current research as they mingled with friends old and new. Around the room, heads were tilted back in laughter or forward in rapt attention as people spent time catching up, getting acquainted, learning something new, and reveling in the simple pleasures of good company, good food, and beautiful surroundings.
