UMO Graduates Largest Class of Ag Majors

The University of Mount Olive recently graduated its largest class of agriculture majors since the inception of the agriculture program just over a decade ago.  Many of the graduates will be teaching agriculture education in the fall, others will engage in agriculture product sales, several will work with various animal integrators, and some of the graduates will be returning home to work on the farm.  “Graduation was an exciting day for our ag students as they completed their undergraduate degrees and realized they are moving to the next phase of their lives,” said Director of the Lois G. Agribusiness Center at UMO Dr. Sandy Maddox.
