Thanks to VU, I now have answered those questions thoroughly and confidently. My time at VU was equipped with incredible professors, staff, friends and many experiences that have made a strong imprint on the rest of my life. As an alumni now, I am thankful for the continued support and effort that is applied from those individuals to help me excel in the next journey of my life and career!</description><author/><image><img src="/_resources/images/degree-and-program-images/bps/agribusiness-picture-mason-guthrie.png" alt="Mason Guthrie standing near farming equipment"/></image><video/><tags><tag>agribusiness</tag></tags></item>
