Hi there!
Thanks for
visiting the Purdue Agronomy Ambassador Blog.
My name is Carl Joern. I am a
junior studying Soil and Crop Management.
I joined the Agronomy Department as a student from a non-farming
background. In the future I hope to
attend graduate school and become an agronomist for a large agricultural
corporation. I’m guessing that you might
be visiting this page to learn a little more about Purdue University, what the
Department of Agronomy has to offer, or maybe just to take a break from
studying.
I came to the Agronomy Department because I was interested
in sustainability and world hunger. The
department has given me so many opportunities that I never anticipated. There are several clubs in the department
that offer students an opportunity to learn outside the classroom, network with
their professors, do service work, but more importantly just to relax and have
fun. Some of the organizations I am
involved with at Purdue are Agronomy Club, Soil and Water Conservation Society,
Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity, Gimlet Leadership Honorary, and Agronomy
Ambassadors. The department also offers
students the opportunity to work in world-class research labs. Whether you are interested in research to help
feed the world or would just like a job with flexible hours to help pay the
bills, the opportunity is there. Let’s
not forget why you’re going to college in the first place, to get a job. The College of Agriculture has over 90% job
placement. Well I think that’s a pretty
good start about myself and our Agronomy Department here at Purdue.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact
me by e-mail (cjoern@purdue.edu). Thanks for stopping by!
Carl…
