Purdue Clubs and Activities

Hello, Jake Stephan here! I am going to give you a little insight on some clubs or activities that I am apart of, or have been apart of in the past, that I encourage everyone to look into! 

As a freshman here I Purdue, Agronomy Club was my first club that I joined. I had a great time, met a lot of other Agronomy students, and ate some really great free meals. Agronomy Club is a great way to get more involved with fellow Agronomy students, and interact with some of the professors. The club also works a lot with people in the Agriculture Industry, which is great so you can start networking with companies early in your college career. 

I am currently involved in the Horticulture Club, and am the Ag Council Representative. The Hort Club gives you an opportunity to meet some fun students outside of the Agronomy department. The meet bi-weekly, and will always supply a free meal for anyone who comes. Each week they either have a fun activity, like pottery painting, pumpkin carving, and more. They also bring in guest speakers, some former horticulture students, some horticulture industry workers, and maybe some landscapers. The Hort Club is also in charge of the Rose Sale every Valentines Day, has a plant sale during Spring Fest, and many more. 

As the Ag Council Representative for the Horticulture Club, I am required to attend every Ag Council meeting, and inform other members about what the club is organizing for the future, and what we have done since the last meeting. It is a great responsibility to have and it is a good opportunity to have a leadership role in a club.
