Happy Fall!!
As a junior in Agronomy here at Purdue, this time of year
brings lots of excitement along with some stress. I have recently confirmed my
internship position for this coming summer, which is super exciting! I will be
a Sales Intern with Syngenta based out of West Lafayette, IN. I will be
spending most of my time at their Grow More Sites in Indiana and Illinois.
These are similar to “show farms” or “research plots”, where Syngenta brings
customers to show them the new and coming products from the company. This will
be another wonderful experience to grow in my agronomic knowledge and
understand more of the many components of the agriculture industry.
November is the cue to students that finals and deadlines are
quickly approaching! Most of us are in the midst of group projects, mid-term
exams, lab reports, and preparing for final exams. This can be a very stressful
time for busy students, but knowing that Christmas Break is coming always helps
us get through it! Along with the school work right now, we are having some
exciting things happen on campus! The Boilermaker Football team has earned the
second win of the year, which makes for a great atmosphere for the team and fans.
The annual College of
Agriculture Hog Roast was a lot of fun last week with the Farmer Olympics! The
newly accepted high school seniors are making visits to West Lafayette to see
their future home as Boilermakers! We always enjoy seeing the next class of
students bring their enthusiasm to campus and look forward to having them here
next year. Basketball season is right around the corner and has fans pumped up
for the coming weeks.
The semester is moving along quickly. As a junior, it is
hard to believe that classes will be over in six weeks and I will be one more
semester closer to graduation! It seems like just yesterday that I was a
freshman and taking my first exam in college. I am so grateful for all of the
experiences I have had thus far and the people that made it so enjoyable. Like
they always say, “Time flies when you’re having fun!”
Until next time,
Christy
