“My name is Aaron Wall; I’m currently a Junior, majoring in Agricultural and Consumer Economics within the College of ACES. While I am still not exactly sure what I want to do with my major, I know that there will be plenty of post-graduation opportunities available to me.

I feel that one of the most appealing aspects about the College of ACES (and there are a ton!) is how much the faculty really cares about you, and prepares you for ‘the real world’. I have met in-person with my advisor, and she sends follow up emails to check on me throughout the year. With a ratio of 18 to 1 of students to professors in the classroom, you really get a personalized experience if you want it. It is a culture where even though there are 40,000 students on campus, you have a network of people who are willing to help you work to succeed.

Another great aspect about the College of ACES is that the classes are not only there to fulfill college credit. You are immersed into the field of your major, whether it be trips to other countries or (in my case), the opportunity to take ACE 398: Issues in Agribusiness Markets & Mgmt, where I can have a streamlined learning experience about how to stand out in the agribusiness field.

The College of ACES is a great place to learn and grow. With opportunities like the ACES Thanking Drive, ACES Career Fair, ACE Ambassadors, ACE Club, to name a few, there are plenty of opportunities to advance yourself personally, socially, and professionally. I am excited to see what the next year of school will bring!”
