American Cyanamid is being recognized by Mississippi State University for the companyÕs contributions to the Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine.
Three corporate representatives recently were on campus to receive a plaque expressing the university's appreciation for the support. They included Robert J. Alpe of Starkville, senior sales representative for the crop protection products department; Michael M. Kenty of Collierville, Tenn., the department's technical service representative; and district sales manager John M. Molpus, also of Collierville.
Kenty and Molpus are Mississippi State graduates.
A major component of Madison, N.J.-based American Home Products Corp., American Cyanamid produces and sells crop protection chemicals and agricultural products.
The company has contributed in-kind gifts valued at $20,000 to the university, including a tractor, a planter and other agricultural products, said Jack McCarty, the division's development officer.
By virtue of the donation level, the company is a corporate member of Mississippi StateÕs PresidentÕs Club donor group.
