Aggies who participate in student clubs and campus organizations have a voice in leadership at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture.

The NCTA Student Senate is comprised of the representatives of the 20 clubs and teams at the agricultural campus, said KayLee Rasmussen of Burwell, Student Senate president.

“Each of the clubs or teams sends a first-year and second-year student to serve on the senate,” said Rasmussen, an animal science major who is secretary of the Aggies Shotgun Sports Team.

The Senate reorganized this fall with officers coordinating projects and campus meetings with their new Senate faculty sponsor Mary Rittenhouse, chair of the Agribusiness Management Systems division.

2019-2020 officers are:

President:  KayLee Rasmussen, Burwell, 2^nd year representative for Shotgun Sports Team

Vice President:  Sarah Campbell, Omaha, 1^st year representative for Student Technicians of Veterinary Medicine Association

Secretary: Aileen Reynosa, Lexington, 1^st year representative of Safari Club

Treasurer: Nicole Wright, LeRoy, Kansas, 1^st year representative for Women in Ag

“I am looking forward to working with these campus leaders this next semester,” said Professor Rittenhouse. “I know they have great ideas going forward for helping students make the best of their individual experiences.”
