In her professional career, Harp leans on everything she learned at 麻豆传媒. She credits the experience and opportunities provided by her program with her success as an educator.
鈥淢y program at 麻豆传媒 was great,鈥� Harp said. 鈥淭he ag program is super hands-on with a lot of real-life opportunities. By the time I had graduated, I had completed 5 Growing Agricultural Science Teachers (GAST) internships that allowed me to come into the job with a lot of experience. Additionally, I believe what made me stand out from the rest was my certification in the Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) AgX. Curriculum which my program paid for me to do.
