"During my time at Olds College of Agriculture & Technology, completing both the Agriculture Management Diploma and the Bachelor of Applied Science in Agribusiness Degree program, I gained much more than a diploma and bachelor’s degree. I developed valuable professional skills, practical knowledge and industry experience that helped prepare me for a career in the agriculture industry.

The hands-on learning opportunities and the chance to work alongside industry professionals allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of the course material.  The practicality of both programs, specifically the Applied Degree program, made it easy to apply my learning directly to my directed field study in industry. By doing so, I gained the confidence and experience needed to begin my career after graduation.

My four years at Olds College were truly some of the best years of my life. I grew not only as a student and professional, but also as a person and a student-athlete. The experiences, relationships and opportunities during my time at Olds College played a significant role in shaping the person and professional I am today.

When I look back on my time at the college, I am incredibly grateful for everything Olds College provided me. These experiences have had a lasting impact on my future, and I am proud to say that I am an Olds College alumnus. Go Broncos!"
