Six students from four different universities across the country were able to attend the recent AgGateway Annual Meeting in Clearwater, Florida to learn more about the many career opportunities that agriculture has to offer. AgGateway’s Gateway to Ag Careers program is sponsored by the AgCIO Roundtable with additional support from Syngenta. The students came from schools in Arizona, Illinois, Iowa, and Mississippi and brought a wide range of interests and disciplines to the program.

The following students participated in the 2025 Gateway to Ag Careers program:
· Omar Abdelmawgoud, Arizona State University
· Tristan Cravens, Illinois State University
· Jenna Kirkland, Arizona State University
· Emma Koger, Mississippi State University
· William Leiva-Mercaod, Iowa State University
