Excited Fall 2025 Semester

Hello! My name is Cassidy Riddle and I am a sophomore studying crop and soil management. I am so excited to be an agronomy ambassador this year and share the passion I have for this department with other incoming students. One reason I love Agronomy at Purdue is it sets up students for endless possibilities after graduation. There is truly a path for all interests. This past summer I managed a beekeeping business in my hometown where I take care of 20 hives and process honey. I love working with honeybees because the connection between their purpose and the farming industry is so clear. They are one of the most fascinating creatures in the world and I enjoy being able to see their impact first hand. I am currently on the search for an internship this summer and I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead! I am looking forward to this year as an agronomy ambassador, and I can not wait to share my agronomy experiences with others.
