Featured Student

Kylie Cadwallader Agribusiness Major
"Coming from a rural background, agriculture has always been a part of me. I knew that after high school I wanted to continue my education and work to help promote agriculture. That is why I chose NCTA. NCTA has a small town feel and by being ag based NCTA advocated the same values I do. I chose to major in agribusiness because I was interested to learn more in that field and I believe it will help me most in achieving my future goals. I have greatly enjoyed my time at NCTA and am ready to graduate and take the next step."
