Area high school students visit Southeast Community College Ag Programs

BEATRICE – Southeast Community College in Beatrice was holding their Agriculture Program Day Friday, drawing over 140 high school students from some 20 area schools.

"The purpose of this day is to bring students to our campus to expose them to different career opportunities in the agriculture industry, expose them to our programs. We're showcasing all of our agriculture programs as well as our diesel ag and our John Deere Technology program from the Milford Campus."

SCC Admissions Administrative Director Kat Kreikemeier says the day gives students chance to take a look at the numerous career options in agriculture, and at new facilities…including a former business campus building now used in the Ag program.  "It's a beautiful building. It's given the program a lot more flexibility and given students a really nice place to come and learn, and have space for engaged learning and hands-on learning activities."
