My Last Summer Internship

Hello, everyone my name is Brett Leisure, and I am a senior here in Agronomy returning from my last internship which was with Advanced Agrilytics.  COVID-19 luckily did not affect the way internship was conducted as other interns had to have virtual internships.  Some of my responsibilities for the summer were helping put in plots, scout fields for any problem issues, write reports to farmers detailing to them the exact locations of problem areas, and their intensity, I also assisted the research team by helping with plant sampling.  I definitely recommend anyone who is interested in a career in the agronomic industry to talk to them at the Career Fair.  In total, I have had three internships during my time here at Purdue, and I have 100% benefited from all three of them.  I encourage everyone to go to the career fair because you might just find something with a smaller company that you do not know much about that will be a good fit for you, or you will be able to find one with your dream company, you never know!  The only way to know for sure is to go to the career fair and find out for yourself.  In addition to the possibility of gaining an internship, you will also make good connections that will last well beyond your time here at Purdue and set yourself up for future success by doing so.
