Five members of the Mayville State University Agribusiness Club and their faculty adviser, Dr. Michael Kjelland, co-director of the Agribusiness Club, participated in an adventurous educational opportunity in Texas in late January. The primary purpose of the trip was to attend the International Embryo Technology Society (IETS) Conference in Fort Worth. Students were able to attend reproductive science and biotechnology presentations given by both students and experts in the field, with around 580 individuals from many different countries in attendance.
We are proud of our students for so many reasons. Each student is embraced for their own special qualities they bring to the world around them. Mayville State students are making a difference as members of Collegiate DECA, Student Education Association, Intercultural Club, Math and Science Club, CRU, and more. As research assistants in the Mayville State labs, student teachers, paraprofessionals in K-12 schools, nurses, and interns, they are impacting others through the work they do every day.
