The Agriculture Career Services Office provides an excellent opportunity for you to browse through the many job opportunities for Agronomy majors and to help you formulate your career plans. Take time to get acquainted with the Agriculture Career Services Director, Mr. Mike Gaul, early in your academic career. Letters of recommendation should be written by those who know you best. Just taking a course from a professor sometimes is not sufficient for the professor to write a meaningful recommendation. Three letters of recommendation are usually required by a potential employer or for entrance into graduate school.
Students normally request letters from their adviser, other professors, and former employers.
Unfortunately, some students go through 4 years of college without really getting to know members of the faculty. They may not even get to know their adviser very well. These students have problems obtaining meaningful letters of recommendation. The Agronomy staff finds that participation in the Agronomy Club is one of the best ways of promoting student-faculty interaction on a more personal basis. Agronomy students have an opportunity to participate in the Agronomy Club, which is affiliated with the American Society of Agronomy.
