STUDENT PROFILE Name: Emma Watry Hometown: Elkhart Lake, WI High School: Elkhart LakeGlenbeulah High School Class Size: 36 Farm: 100 head Holstein herd Major: Dairy Science Business
Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison? Graduating from high school, I knew that I wanted to pursue a degree in the agriculture field. I knew that by choosing UW-Madison, I would have the best options to get a worldclass degree in whichever area of agriculture I chose, while receiving a true Wisconsin college experience. What has been your most memorable college experience? My most memorable college experience came from working at the World Dairy Expo through the Badger Dairy Club. It was exciting to be so close to the action, and to know that I was a big part in making such a huge event happen. What has been your favorite course? My favorite courses at UW-Madison have been Reproductive Management of Dairy Cattle and Dairy Herd Management Practicum. It was fun to be able to have the hands-on experiences with AI, ultrasounding, and scanning cows in Reproductive Management, and then being able to apply what I learned in the classroom on the farm in Dairy Herd Management, in a real-world situation. What are your future career goals? Thanks to my classes this semester, I have a newfound interest in the reproductive field, and my future career goals involve hopefully working in this area.
