Katelin Waldrep, an agricultural engineering, technology and business major from Cherokee, Alabama, praises CALS for its individualized approach to the needs of its students. "Future farmers have classes with future fashion designers, and future engineers have classes with future veterinarians," she said. Her own education meets her personal needs by integrating her passion for the technical side of agriculture with the knowledge she'll need to run a successful business someday. For Waldrep, this means running her own row crop and beef cattle operation.
