Grant was inspired by his farmer grandparents to pursue a career in agriculture. An agricultural business major with a second major in finance and a minor in accounting, Grant earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete recognition as a member of the Raider baseball team. He is president of the Ag Club and a peer career mentor through the Compass Center for Career & Calling’s Franken Fellow program. He appreciates how his coursework at NWC provides him with tangible job skills and information that will help him succeed in his career.Roots in farming
I decided to major in ag business because I have always loved agriculture, and that stemmed from being around my grandparents who farmed. Even though my parents do not farm, I can still be connected to it in a different way through all the many options a major like ag business gives you.
Real-world learning
The strength of the ag business program is how it relates to real-world applications. What we’re learning in the classroom is tangible information we will need to know to pursue a job in ag off the farm. The courses are challenging, but they challenge you in ways that help you grow. The connections and relationships I have built with the faculty give me confidence that I am set up for success after graduation.
Faith in community
Attending Northwestern has impacted my faith by challenging me to dig deeper into what God has called me to do. There are so many strong Christian leaders who have poured into me here, and being surrounded by men my age who also want to learn and grow has been really impactful. Besides an education, I have gained lifelong friends. Even more than that, I have really found a second family at NWC. I have also matured in my faith significantly since I have arrived on campus.
