"This fall I plan to attend Cal Poly SLO and major in Ag Business. During my time at Cal Poly I plan to stay involved in their ag department by becoming a part of various clubs that will allow me to continue advocating for the agriculture industry. In addition I would like to become a part of an intern program that will allow me with the opportunity to keep educating myself on the industry. I’m exited for this new chapter of my life and can’t wait to spend the next four years in San Luis Obispo."

"In the fall I will be attending Oklahoma State University where I will be majoring in Ag Communications and minoring in Animal Science. While I do not have a specific career in mind, I do know for certain that I want to pursue a job in the ag industry. Ag Communications is a very broad major that will allow me to explore many options. Because of my passion for ag and desire to educate others about it, I believe Ag Communications is a major that will allow me to do just that."
