Secretary Scholars Program

You are invited to partake in an excellent networking event for all agriculture students and people who are interested in career in agriculture. The Secretary Scholars Program is designed to provide students a glimpse into our agricultural industry, hopefully supplementing and adding texture to the students class room experiences. During the winter, the program moves indoors and centers around career programs for students by allowing students to talk to professionals with in the agriculture field. This will be a great opportunity for all students that attend to network and learn about more careers in agriculture.
