THE DAVEY BULLETIN
"I've liked learning about all the
different tools that can help with
the sales and production side of the
job, along with many tricks of the
trade. I've especially loved seeing
the entomology lab section of
D.I.T.S. and being able to look at
the various larvae and live insects."

"Networking has been awesome, especially outside the
classroom. Groups of us have played card games in the
hotel lobby, we've gone rock climbing together — it's
been cool to find people I've never met who are around
my age and are in the same stage of life I am in."
