The opportunity to work with my instructors for two years was most helpful in preparing me for my future. They were both leading experts who brought real-world experiences to the classroom. They provided authentic and unique opportunities for students to develop their skills. They also had a strong network with other industry experts to find learning opportunities for students beyond the classroom. The one on one mentoring over two years was helpful in finding the right career path for me within the agricultural industry. -Caryn (Hoerst) Filson (Diamond, Equine Science Management, 2002)
