14. “I feel more confident
in my content creation
and in speaking with
others about
agriculture.”
“Participating in the
College Aggies Online
Program has been one
of the best graduate
school experiences I
have had. I cannot
wait to participate
next year!!”
“I have learned to focus on
communicating in a relatable
fashion, utilize graphics and
visuals in a simple yet
understandable way and
understand that most people
are not involved or familiar
with agriculture, so we have
to communicate accordingly.”

15. “College Aggies has opened
my eyes to all the different
ways you can ‘agvocate’ on
social media! The
assignments were
challenging, but they also
provided more engagement
than the standard text or
graphic post!”
“College Aggies has
taught me to step out of
my comfort zone when
promoting agriculture on
social media! I also
learned how to edit
videos and the
importance of hashtags!”
“I really enjoyed this
competition, I got to
learn about segments of
agriculture that I wasn't
familiar with and how to
be more effective on
social media!”
