“I came during my high school years and visited the University, and I fell in love with it. The beautiful campus, the friendly students, and the kind and caring faculty. They have done an excellent job in providing internships, research, study aboard opportunities in plant sciences [and] organic production. That’s why I chose UT.” – Brooke Lafontant, Class of 2025
