1. Why did you choose Agronomy as your major? Did you enter as a freshmen or transfer student?
I chose to major in Agronomy because I found the topic relatable to my agricultural background. I was pulled in by the concern for the future population and providing society necessities such as food, fuel, and fiber. Throughout my time at Iowa State, I became more concerned with the environmental aspect so I chose a secondary major of Environmental Studies. Currently, my goal is to mitigate agricultures impact on the environment throughout the rest of my life. I entered the department during my second semester at Iowa State, because I started in Agricultural Business and realized it was not the right major for me.

I do believe I was prepared for my future. During my two years with a Agronomic company, I had the proper knowledge to complete daily task. The concepts I learned have also been able to apply to other work. Additionally the material aided me in the years I worked for a graduate student in the Agronomy Department. The coursework also made me realize the importance of the material and understanding the topics in the current field.

There were multiple opportunities to get involved with professional opportunities. I enjoyed my two years working as a research assistant to an graduate student, on a rye cover crop impact on cash crops. The Agronomy club was very active and I enjoyed the little time I was a part of the club.
