"It takes programs like the ones at CAES to provide that food and to make it good. I would not be where I am today without UGA," said Shona Jonson ( MS - Food Science, ’90). "The skills I learned and the contacts I made helped lay a great foundation that would prepare me for a lifelong career in food.

The 'why' started at my grandma’s table, UGA taught me the 'how' so I could find my place in the industry and the world."

Engage

We connected with more than 75 Ag Dawgs at Sunbelt Ag Expo this year in one day! Check out who we were able to catch up with.

It is always a pleasure to see alumni at industry events. We hope to see you at our next stop! 

The UGA CAES Office of Marketing and Communications is looking into doing a story about CAES alumni who went onto professional school. Did you use your CAES degree to continue on with your education? If you received a professional degree - medical, veterinary, law, dental, optometry, pharmacy, nursing, physical therapy, physicians assistant or others - let us know!
