NETWORKING IN THE COLLEGE

Students attended two college-sponsored career networking events in the fall and winter quarters, meeting with more than 100 industry professionals across a broad spectrum on companies in the food, environmental, agriculture and wine sectors. The CAFES Connections event, held in November, was launched in 2021 to assist students in fostering new professional connections, as well as helping them to gain awareness of the various careers and industries available to them. In addition, the longstanding, student-led Ag Showcase, managed and organized by students in the college’s Agribusiness Management and National Agri-Marketing Association Club, was held in January. At both events, students were given the opportunity to interview with industry professionals for internships and full-time employment opportunities.
