Bearcat Stories

“I feel like everyone in the ag department knows who I am, and they make me feel like I’m not just a number. I think they’ve definitely been impactful for where I am going and me staying in ag business because I wasn’t really sure if it was for me or what I wanted to do with it at first.”
