Yeutter Student Fellows

Yeutter Student Fellows interact with each other and with professionals who specialize in a wide range of fields, committing to regular meet-ups that focus on networking, skill building, and learning about international trade.

Allison Walbrecht is a senior Animal Science major whose career goal is to move to Washington D.C. and work on Capitol Hill on agriculture policy.  Being a Yeutter Student Fellow has given her many connections across and off campus with those who are active in the international trade field. This opportunity has also allowed her to work on real world trade issues happening right now!
