Your Path to CALS

CALS student Rachel Noble is growing a new branch on the family (Christmas) tree. 🌲
The first-year agricultural business management major is leveraging her experience on her family Christmas tree farm, Noble’s Tree Farm, and in FFA toward a future career in agricultural law.
“I think that as an agricultural attorney, I could also be an agricultural advocate for creating policies that are going to be beneficial for the producer, the farmer and the consumer,” she said.

Happy #FirstDayOfWinter!
Meet @NCStateAGI grad Macy Griffin! 👋🎓
Griffin is from Pittsboro, N.C., and graduated last weekend with an Associate of Applied Science in Livestock and Poultry Management.
In her time at NC State she was a student ambassador for the Agricultural Institute and actively involved in agriculture outside of the classroom through her family’s farm, Lutterloh Farms. She has a background in FFA leadership and community involvement, which inspired her path to NC State CALS.
“My time at NC State CALS and the Agricultural Institute has pushed me to grow both personally and professionally, while reinforcing my passion for agriculture and preparing me for what’s next,” she said. “I am incredibly thankful for the hands-on learning, supportive faculty and real-world experiences at NC State that have helped me build confidence in my future within agriculture.”
After graduation, she will be continuing her education through NC State’s four-year Agricultural Business Management Program while staying connected to her family’s farm and the livestock industry. Her career goal is to take on a leadership role at her family’s farm and continue contributing to the agriculture industry in North Carolina.
Please join us in congratulating her on her achievement! 🐺
