A rural internship taught animal science major Lauren Schulte-Hock about the business of bison. 🦬

In this episode of The Dean’s Den, CALS Dean Garey Fox sits down with Schulte-Hock to discuss her summer internship at Sunset Ridge Bison Ranch in Roxboro, North Carolina.

Through the CALS Rural Works! program, which recruits employers in rural areas to hire summer interns, the owners of Sunset Ridge Bison Ranch brought on Schulte-Hock to assist with evaluating animal health, marketing and managing the daily business.

“Seeing and being part of farm operations brings the classroom studies to life,” said Schulte-Hock. “My courses at CALS definitely prepared me for this experience.”

We’d go to the moon and Pack to find you, Howling Cow. 🍨🌒

Howl at the Moon, @ncstatehowlingcow’s new, limited-edition ice cream flavor, has a cheesecake base with blueberry and raspberry swirls and pieces of graham cracker pie crust. This cosmic flavor was created by our talented team at @fbnsncstate in honor of NASA astronaut and three-time NC State graduate Christina Koch.

Howl at the Moon will be available for a limited time at Talley Student Union and the Howling Cow Dairy Education Center and Creamery, while supplies last.
