As a senior in high school I visited three different colleges, one being the University of Missouri. After my college visit, I knew that Mizzou and CAFNR was exactly where I belonged. Something that stood out to me on my visit was the small, family feel that CAFNR offers, as well as the exceptional staff that wanted to see me succeed. I was a bit nervous coming to such a large university, but I quickly learned that CAFNR has so much to offer – both inside and outside of the classroom. At the beginning of my freshman year, I made sure to join a few of the clubs and organizations that CAFNR offers. The College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources has over forty clubs and organizations so I was able to find organizations that I was both interested in and would help me network through my time at the university. I have been involved in CAFNR Ambassadors, CAFNR Student Council, Collegiate Farm Bureau, as well as the National Agri-Marketing Association. CAFNR Student Council has been one of my favorite organizations to get involved in. As student council president I have had the opportunity to learn about the many great clubs and organizations that we have through our college, as well as the events that they host that benefit both CAFNR students and the Columbia community. I would have never known about all of these clubs without getting involved. The clubs and organizations are just a small part of the CAFNR Experience. The experience offers students access to award-winning advisors and teachers; research opportunities with internationally renowned scientists; multiple study abroad options; career expos; hands-on learning experiences; and so much more! Take a peek at the stories below to see how CAFNR prepares students to be successful — not just in the classroom but also in their future careers! Lauryn Robnett
