Ag Olympics

Hello Everyone!!

I hope that everyone is getting along great this semester, it won’t be long until its Christmas break and the semester is over. I wanted to blog this time about an opportunity that I have had each fall here at Purdue. Ag Olympics is a great opportunity to meet up with a wide range of Ag students, enjoy a delicious hog roast, and participate in some friendly but competitive competitions. There is a wide range of clubs that are involved in the competitions, such as Agronomy Club, Dairy Club, ASM Club and many more. Being involved within a club allows you to compete in these Olympics and possibly take home the golden shovel as a prize and bragging rights. For the Agronomy club through, we could say competition hasn’t been very hard, and for that reason we are 3-peat champions! If you walk on the 2^nd floor of Lilly, you will be able to see the shovel on display and a picture of the Agronomy Club participants that have kept this winning streak going. This is a great way to represent your club as well as a great discussion within interviews, that you will receive when you attend the Ag Career Fair. Ag Olympics is also a great time to social within the departments of Agriculture. It can be an evening full of new and interesting information, possibly about someone else major and how you could also possibly get involved, either by a minor or just a club. I strongly encourage everyone, even if you are not competing, to attend the Ag Olympics and socialize with your peers, friends can last a lifetime!

I do hope everyone has a great second part of the semester and happy holidays to all!

Thanks,
