BRAE NEWS & EVENTS SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: MARTHA MOAK “The wide range of opportunities available in the BRAE Department offer a very unique experience for us as students. These opportunities and experiences are only possible through our teams and clubs, as well as the priceless support of our faculty and staff who are always there to offer advice and guidance.

One of Martha’s favorite courses is BRAE 335 (Internal Combustion Engines) taught by Gary Weisenberger. Taking this class as an elective, she gained insight that will be beneficial in her future career. “It is a very well structured class in that everyone can take something from it, no matter your skill level going into the class.

After graduation, Martha hopes to be in the northern part of the Central Valley working in production agriculture. Ideally, she said she hopes to be “constantly faced with new challenges and learning opportunities.”
From her first year, Martha has been involved in AES and has been part of the officer team, holding the SMB president position for two consecutive years. She has 2

They then were able to visit with two different majors they were interested in. The BRAE professors explained what the different facets of the department entail and interesting projects students are working on. There were about 40 prospective students that attended the BRAE sessions. After, they were able to take a campus tour led by Ag Ambassadors and learn more about housing and student life. Thank you to all the BRAE students that helped make this event possible!
