CURTIS, Neb. – Clayton “CJ” Monheiser led his Class of 2020 as the Aggie of the Year in graduating from the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture.
The livestock management major, a humble cowboy from Hershey, Nebraska, would likely cite friendships forged and his work with cattle, horses, and stock dogs as Aggie highlights.
To his classmates, teachers and campus administrators, however, they enjoy and appreciate his ethics, personality and can-do attitude.
