Meet CALS grad Brynna Laughter. 🎓
Brynna is from Edneyville, North Carolina, and graduated last week with a Bachelor of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering Technology. At NC State, she was involved in the @ncsusigmaalpha professional agricultural sorority.
"My time at NC State CALS has exceeded every expectation I had coming in as a freshman. The overwhelming support from faculty, collaboration with exceptional peers and the opportunity to work on hands-on projects like my capstone have helped me grow both personally and professionally in ways I never imagined," she said. "This experience has not only prepared me for my career but also given me a deep appreciation for the community and opportunities CALS has to offer. I’m incredibly proud to be part of the Wolfpack and deeply grateful for the people who made my college experience unforgettable."
After graduation, she will be working as an agricultural specialist at Agri-Waste Technology.
Congratulations, Brynna, and welcome to the Alumni Pack! 🐺
