It is a career exploration platform to help guide high school and college students towards a possible career in the agbioscience industry.
This week’s Ag+Bio+Science podcast is hosted by AgriNovus Chief Executive Officer Mitch Frazier. He explores the benefits of the program with former Field Atlas Ambassador Hannah McGee, who graduated from Butler University last spring.
“Agriculture is not a hot topic at Butler. But I used that as a way, kind of as a challenge, to introduce students who had not really thought about it [agriculture] as something they’d be interested in,” said McGee.
As an ambassador, McGee used the Field Atlas to show other Butler students the various careers available in the agbioscience sector. “This one conversation I had with one student has always stuck with me. She took the initial quiz,” McGee explained about the chat. “She’s a health sciences major, and she said, ‘Wow, I really, really love animals. And I’m a health sciences major, but I’d never really considered myself being an animal nutritionist. And that’s something I would really like.’”
After McGee graduated from Butler with a degree in communications, she joined Atlanta-based Beck’s Hybrids as a member of the marketing team.
