What Graduates SayAbout EDGE
Katy Crocker
EDGE (previously Aggies for Fresh) gave me the fantastic opportunity to experience the fresh produce industry firsthand. Throughout the Viva Fresh conference, I saw the level of community that was represented. It doesn’t take long to see that people working in fresh produce really love their work and are excited about it!

Thanks EDGE (previously Aggies for Fresh), I was led to the perfect career opportunity for me as a food safety specialist at Rio Fresh. I urge other students to get in contact with EDGE and take advantage of unique opportunities such as the Viva Fresh Expo.
Ashely Lewis
The day Viva Fresh started and I met the rest of the EDGE (previously Aggies for Fresh) students, I became struck with a sense of family. Everyone I met was cheerful, passionate, and genuine. When I walked into the exhibit hall, I knew at that moment that that is where I wanted to be.
