Summer Spotlight: Brooklynn Holt

As we switch into our fall semester, we want to take a moment to highlight Brooklynn Holt, who served as our 2026 Summer House Manager. Brooklynn, along with three other sisters, lived in the house this summer and took on every challenge that came their way. She worked closely with Jill and Sharon throughout all the renovations, and thanks to her dedication, the house has never looked better!

Thank you, Brooklynn, for pouring your time and energy into the house this summer. We're grateful for you and all the work you put in!

This summer, a few AWA sisters took their passion for agriculture across the globe through study abroad programs!

Name: Gina Frisle
Year in school: Senior
Major: Dairy Science
Program/University: Dairy Internship at Perrotis College (6 week program)

Why did you choose to study abroad: "I chose to study abroad because I wanted to take myself out of my comfort zone and gain a better understanding of international agriculture. I also found that six weeks was long enough to immerse myself in the culture while also not being too long."

Favorite part of the trip: "My favorite part of the trip was the four day sailing trip through the Mamma Mia islands. This was a trip offered through the school along with many other opportunities.

How was this experience beneficial: "The program that I chose was focused on dairy in Greece and I worked through three different rotations, including the dairy farm, dairy processing facility, and their feed mill. This was beneficial because I was able to see parts of dairy farming that I do not normally see, the dairy processing and feed mill, and learn more about dairy farming in other countries."

Why would you recommend: "I would 100% recommend someone to study abroad in general, but also to do this study abroad if you are interested in dairy or large animals in general. Overall, I had an amazing time and the people I met truly made this experience so much more memorable."

We love seeing our members explore, learn, and grow in new places. 💛✈

This summer, a few AWA sisters took their passion for agriculture across the globe through study abroad programs!

Name: Mattea Eleshio
Year in school: Sophomore
Major: Animal and Veterinary Biosciences
Program/University: Panama Wildlife Medicine

Why did you choose to study abroad: "I chose to study abroad so I could experience clinical work in another country, which allowed me to see how cultural differences impacted veterinary medicine. Studying abroad also gave me the opportunity to work with wildlife and exotic animals I wouldn’t have the opportunity to otherwise!"

Favorite part of the trip: "I enjoyed working with wildlife, including sloths, monkeys, and anteaters, the most."

How was this experience beneficial: "Studying abroad allowed me to experience different fields of veterinary medicine, which helps me to see what species I want to focus on in the future! It also gave me more clinical experience and hours working with veterinarians."

Why would you recommend: "I would absolutely recommend studying abroad! It’s a great opportunity to explore different cultures and see the world, all while furthering your career."

We love seeing our members explore, learn, and grow in new places. 💛✈
