My experience in the College of AGS has been eye-opening. Everyone with whom I have interacted has been more than willing to help out someone in need and supportive of someone else’s accomplishments. I was unsure of what I wanted to do with my degree before I got here, but the experiences provided by the college including career fairs, internships, and guest lecturers in different aspects of meteorology have shown me how vast and important this field is in our society and opened my eyes to a career path that’s intrigued me to pursue.
