Agribusiness Management Club
About This Club
The Agribusiness Management Club is an organization created to develop the individuals currently pursuing their degrees in the Agribusiness Major. We work to aid students entering the agribusiness field to gain knowledge of the industry as well as to better prepare themselves for the careers they may pursue once their academic education is fulfilled. Members get the opportunity to: meet new people and gain contacts within the food & agribusiness industry through guest speakers and field trips throughout California, develop leadership skills, become involved in internships, participate in Pumpkin Festival, and improve their relationships with their professors and classmates.
In addition to the educational activities mentioned above, the club attends various trade shows throughout the year, has an end of the year banquet, and club socials, among other activities. Not only that, but food is often provided at the majority of these meetings, allowing students to eat lunch and learn about the club through the multiple workshops that we host as well as learn about the college in general through Agriculture Council Updates.
Agribusiness students has the awesome opportunity to be sponsored by the Produce Marketing Association Education Foundation to attend the Produce Marketing Association Show in Anaheim, California. Students will have a direct interaction and mentoring from various PMA members who are leaders in their industries.
