CAES Alumni Blog Spotlight It's pumpkin season, #AgDawgs! Check out our recent feature on this cool Ag Dawg owned pumpkin patch - Oakhurst Farms.
"Nestled near the Georgia-Alabama state border in West Point, Georgia, Oakhurst Farms stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of family farming and the innovative spirit of its owners. This historic farm, established in 1901, has been a cornerstone of the community for over a century. Today, it thrives under the stewardship of University of Georgia alumnus Steve Morgan (MAX ’94) and his family."

Spotlight: Caroline Hinton
CAES alumna and Director of Experiential Learning, Caroline Hinton (BSA '19, BSA '19, MAEE '21), helps CAES students connect with experiencial learning opportunities and supports them in their career exploration.
“Through my experience as a student here, I fell in love with the college, the industry that it serves and the citizens that it produces after graduation,” Hinton said. “I always thought that I would come through, graduate and move on to something else, but it’s been the perfect place for me to give back to a lot of those experiences that I had as a student.”
