🎓 Grad Student Spotlight: Meet Elise Jackson!

A Manhattan native and lifelong Wildcat, Elise is pursuing her M.S. in Agricultural Economics at K-State.

Why Ag Econ?

“It combined my love for the ag world and my love for math and analytics.”

For Elise, one of the best parts of graduate school has been the people she’s met along the way.

“My classmates have truly become some of my best friends, and it is such a gift to do not just school but life with them.”

When she's not studying, Elise serves on staff with Christian Challenge Campus Ministry and, in true Kansas fashion, she loves storm chasing! 🌪️ She’s seen about a dozen tornadoes so far.

We’re excited to introduce you to Elise and more of our Ag Econ graduate students throughout the year! 💜
