Comments from Advisor

NAME:  Dr. Amy Johnson

Dalton,
Congratulations on this momentous achievement. I bet you didn’t think it would ever come, especially this last semester. But you should be proud of yourself for reaching this milestone…I certainly am. I know for a fact that you won’t regret having this degree as it will only open doors for you. I hope you look back on your time in the AGI with fondness and that you learned a little something about agriculture. More importantly, I hope you learned about yourself and what you do and don’t want in your life. Remember what I always say, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Learning what doesn’t work for you is just as important as learning what does.
I hate that your last semester was interrupted by all this, but at least there weren’t zombies, right?? I wish you all the best with everything and if there’s anything I can ever help you, don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Maybe I’ll see you around in good ole Pittsboro.
