A baby horse that the Equine Breeding Students delivered!!
I started my journey at Olds College in the Winter Semester of 2012 as a Business Administration Student. Up until May 2013 my perspective on the College, although respective and appreciative, was very limited. I didn’t realize that not only does Olds College have a close knit Business Community, it also has various other aspects and ‘communities’ to offer; including, Land and Water Resources, Agricultural Management, Animal Health Technology, Meat Processing, Equine Sciences, Farrier Science, Fashion, etc. and in between each of these topics are more diverse specializations. Needless to say, Olds College has something for everyone.
I started my position as a Summer Student Ambassador on April 29th, 2013. Thus far, I have already quadrupled my knowledge of Olds College, and it is continuously growing. Situated on over 2000 acres of land, the college is full of incredible surprises and sights to see. This week, I have been inside the Lands Science Building with the beautiful greenery, I have seen the huge Pavilion with machinery and dirt and I have also got to spend some time with the BABY HORSES! How awesome is my job?!
As most of you know, Olds College is turning 100 this year. Due to the progressive culture of the College, however, most buildings are brand new or renovated, but one thing remains at Olds College as the years continue; the friendly, helpful, and caring nature of each and every staff member.
During my first few weeks as working at Olds College I have been introduced to numerous staff members and instructors, all of them greeted me with a welcoming smile. Throughout these visits and introductions, I have begun to understand how each instructor specializes in the classes that they teach, not only this but they are passionate about what they do. “Love What You Do, Do What You Love”, Olds College motto fits perfectly for everyone, and this shines through when meeting the instructors. Everything at Olds College is hands on, opening the potential for every student to be knowledgeable, experienced, and prepared for their career!
