Looking Back on ACE

ACE students discussing policy.

As a soon to be a graduate of the University of Illinois, reflecting back on my four years as an ACE major and the variety of ways that the department has prepared me for the future is fantastic. Being able to hold multiple internships, network with professionals, and learn from the brightest minds in Agriculture has helped expand my knowledge and passion for developing myself professionally. The Department of ACE offers endless opportunities from the career fair; that attracts the leading companies in the Agricultural Industry to the study abroad office, where you can choose to study in a variety of places all around the world while also offering many opportunities to get involved on campus.  Had I not decided to major in Agricultural & Consumer Economics I would not have been exposed to these experiences.
