A rural internship taught animal science major Lauren Schulte-Hock about the business of bison. 🦬
In this episode of The Dean’s Den, CALS Dean Garey Fox sits down with Schulte-Hock to discuss her summer internship at Sunset Ridge Bison Ranch in Roxboro, North Carolina.
Through the CALS Rural Works! program, which recruits employers in rural areas to hire summer interns, the owners of Sunset Ridge Bison Ranch brought on Schulte-Hock to assist with evaluating animal health, marketing and managing the daily business.
“Seeing and being part of farm operations brings the classroom studies to life,” said Schulte-Hock. “My courses at CALS definitely prepared me for this experience.”
