"The 2023 NACTA (North American Colleges and Teachers of Agriculture) competition was hosted at MJC this year, two weeks ago from April 12th-15th. Colleges from around the nation came to California to compete in one of the 19 contests consisting of Ag Business, Ag Communications, Ag Mechanics, Dairy and Livestock Judging and Management, Horticulture, soils, Quiz Bowl, and so much more. These contests took place over the course of three days on both East and West Campuses, we concluded the event with an awards banquet dinner.

"The MJC School of Agriculture hosted their annual Last Breakfast and Scholarship Awards Ceremony last Tuesday, April 18th. The event was hosted inside the ACE Pavilion where we began with our Ag Faculty and Staff making omelettes for all of our students. We then went straight into our awards ceremony where around 30 scholarships were given out to many of our School of Agriculture students. Each year there is an "Outstanding Freshmen" and "Outstanding Sophomore" award, this year our outstanding freshmen were Sienna Davies and Frances Pierce, and our outstanding sophomores were Erica Mattingly and Julyessa Struckmeyer. Great job and congratulations to all of our scholarship reciepients, we hope you enjoyed your time and continue the hard work!"

The MJC Vet Tech Club was joined by Mortimer, the Easter Bunny, who hopped on down to the Ag Patio and Country Store to meet our furry friends for Easter pictures on April 8th. Aside from the pictures, students made goodie bags full of home-made dog treats to send with each pet and got to meet all the furry friends who came to visit.
