CURTIS, Neb. – It takes planning to chart a pack trip on a trail in the wilderness or through growth of tree-covered mountains in the West.
And, most often, the journey includes a detailed map for a safe and rewarding experience whether traveling afoot, or riding by mule or horseback.
Likewise, long-term strategies and charting the best academic course for all of our Aggie students is an important priority at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture.
