Senior Day Re-Cap

The 2019 Modesto Junior College Senior took place on Friday, October 4, 2019. 240 senior high school students in California attended Senior Day so they could come tour and learn about the MJC Agriculture department. The students came to learn about the different opportunities the MJC Agriculture department offers. In the ACE Pavilion the students had the opportunity to walk around and learn about all of the degrees and certificates within the department.

YF Meeting & Apparel!

The Young Farmers club is excited and ready for the upcoming meeting October 24th! The YF club will be taking two buses to Dell'Osso Farms, a pumpkin patch with rides and a haunted house!
