Agricultural Business

Thanks to her experiences at ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï College, Carolyn Wright has grown as a student, a leader, and a person. As a result, she now feels more prepared to take on the real world.

In her program, Carolyn has received numerous hands-on learning opportunities, from working with a variety of different animals at the College Farm, to serving on the Dairy Judging Team, to touring farms in- and out-of-state. She has also enjoyed learning about the business side of agriculture.

“I think it’s important to know what’s currently going on in the industry and what the trends are, and ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï does a really great job of getting that across.â€

Carolyn has also benefited by becoming a member of the Presidential Aspiring Leaders (PAL) Program, which helps students to strengthen their leadership skills. In addition to these valuable experiences, Carolyn also appreciates the one-on-one interaction she gets with professors at ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï, and the overall friendliness of the campus.

“Everybody makes you feel welcome, even people outside your major, which I really enjoy.â€

Carolyn has definitely made the most of her time at ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï, and has made a big impact, as well. As a result, she received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence in the spring of 2019.

Carolyn definitely feels ±¬×ß³Ô¹Ï has prepared her for that next step after graduation.

“I think they’re doing a great job.â€
