Meet graduating senior Madi White! ✨🎓
Madi is from Bahama, N.C., and will graduate this weekend with a Bachelor of Science in Animal Science. At NC State, she was involved in @ans_ncstate, @dsc.ncstate and @agrilifecouncil, holding several officer positions within each. She also worked as an undergraduate research assistant working with beef and dairy calves. This past semester she led the Milk Booth at the @ncstatefair.
“My time at NC State and my involvement within CALS has been a blessing with an abundance of opportunities throughout my college career. It has broadened my agricultural horizons and set me up for success post graduation,” she said. “I’m forever thankful for CALS at NC State and for the amazing faculty, staff and peers I have met along the way. Go Pack!”
After graduation, she plans to work in the animal agriculture industry in management or education.
