Gateway to Ag Careers Program Welcomes Ten Students to Annual Conference

AgGateway is pleased to announce that the 2024 Gateway to Ag Careers Program will welcome ten college students to attend our Annual Conference next week.

Supported by AgCIO Roundtable, the Premier Sponsor, with additional support from Syngenta, the Gateway to Ag Careers program offers students the opportunity to attend learning sessions and network with attendees at the AgGateway Annual Conference while making valuable contacts with agriculture industry leaders. This year’s program drew a record number of applications for the award.

The ten recipients represent five different academic institutions from across the country. They are as follows:

  • Elicia Baranowski Iowa State University
  • Kayley Clark Iowa State University
  • Oluwabukola Emi-Johnson Wake Forest University
  • Seth Givens Mississippi State University
  • Elijah Gregory Mississippi State University
  • Mason Greseth University of Minnesota
  • Sidrah Khan Arizona State University
  • Brandt Kringlie University of Minnesota
  • Logan Schaaf University of Minnesota
  • Jessica Timmons Arizona State University

The application process required each student to submit an essay explaining what they hoped to gain by attending the AgGateway Annual Conference. Academic advisors and others had the opportunity to provide supporting information to accompany the application.

At the Conference, the students will make individual presentations at a special session during the conference to share their work, ambitions, and interests in the agriculture industry.

The Gateway to Ag Careers Program accepts student applications from June 1 through September 15 annually and provides awards for up to 10 students. If you are attending the Annual Conference, be sure to track down our student attendees and give them a warm welcome!
