  • Loughry students America bound!

    Date published: 1 July 2016

    Each year CAFRE students have the opportunity to study in America as part of their studies. This summer two Honours Degree Students from Loughry Campus are bound for Michigan State University (MSU).

    Thomas Wilson from Ardboe and Eimear Quigg from Dunloy, ‘America Bound’.

    Eimear Quigg from Dunloy and Thomas Wilson from Ardboe will be heading off to the USA to spend the ‘Fall’ semester sampling academic life at MSU. This is an excellent opportunity for both students to study a range of exciting subjects at one of the top research universities in the world, and to develop key skills that will prepare them for a successful career in the agri-food industry.

    By Nicola Kerr, Loughry Campus, College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE).
