Your Path to CALS

Say hello to soon-to-be CALS grad Malorie Woodard! 👋🎓
Malorie is from New Bern, North Carolina, and will graduate this weekend with a Bachelor of Science in Crop and Soil Sciences with a concentration in Agronomy.
In addition to her studies, Malorie was active on campus, being part of @ncstatechancellorsaides, the @agrilifecouncil, the @ncsuagronomyclub, the University Honors Program and @ncsusigmaalpha.
Her advice for future CALS students?
"Say yes to all the things you think you might want to do. Trying new things and being involved not only helped me clarify my career goals and led me to opportunities I did not know existed, but also allowed me to meet some of my best friends!"
After graduation, she plants to continue her journey at NC State to pursue her Master of Science in Crop Science.
Congratulations, Malorie, and welcome to the CALS Alumni Pack! 🐺
Follow along for a day in the life of agricultural education major Junior Torres Diaz! 🌟 He takes you through his experience at the Wake County Ag Symposium, extracurricular activities with @ncstateffa and coursework.
What an incredible end to a great semester. 🎈🐺 We had a blast at the CALS Block Party today!
From affirmation stations to food trucks to senior pins, students celebrated their hard work and de-stressed to prep for finals season.
Thank you to all who came out, and to the CALS Academic Programs team for hosting the event!
