Quite a Round-Up!

We hosted several hundred excited students earlier this month for Fall Round-Up, right here in the College of Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources. That's right, CAFNR welcomes freshmen and sophomores by giving them a night to explore the opportunities available in the college.

The crowd of students made its way through the halls of the agriculture building to mingle with representatives from many of the great organizations CAFNR has to offer! Since I’m an atmospheric science major, I helped out at the Meteorology Club table throughout the night. So many excited and interested students came through and asked a ton of questions!

I’m a senior this year and it made me really happy to know that there are such excited underclassmen in line to take over the many clubs and organizations in the college. Even if a student didn’t manage to find a club they were interested in, they still got a t-shirt, candy AND a free dinner. Not too shabby :)

How can college help YOU?

That's a good question. For me, college has offered up a variety of experiences to prepare me for a full-time career. From the life lessons to the friendships, and all of the professional connections I've made in between, I'm not scared of the future.

There are so many resources like organizations, internships and other opportunities to help students find the path they want to take in life.

Find out how several CAFNR students, including myself, have taken advantage of some special programs offered to us as we continue searching for success. Click here to read more.

Making Dreams Come True

Starting your first day of college, or maybe your very last year of high school? If so, I bet you were excited and anxious as you went to bed the night before classes began! It's kind of like a little kid going to Disney World, a quarterback getting ready for the big game, or a singer thinking about performing in front of hundreds of people.

I know just how it feels...in fact I had that same problem last night, even though I've been a college student for almost 1,100 days! So why am I still tossing and turning before the first day of class? Find out here!
