Following the tour, an engaging student panel discussion, adeptly moderated by Dr. JP Dundore-Arias and student panelists, provided invaluable insights into student life and academic opportunities. The visit concluded with enlightening presentations at the BIT building, giving students a comprehensive understanding of CSUMB’s offerings. The day fostered inspiration and connection as CSUMB extended a warm welcome to the visiting high schoolers and future Agricultural industry leaders.
