OFFICE OF ENGAGEMENT
Flinchbaugh Fellowship Alumni
"Policy has an influence on everyone from the family farmer to the CEO of a large agribusiness. Interning with Michael Torrey Associates strengthened skill sets that will apply to any career I may choose."
Sarah Franklin, 2017
Ag Policy Fellow Alumni
"During my time in Washington, D.C. I witnessed some major historical moments including the inauguration of the 45th president, Donald Trump, the confirmation hearing of U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Purdue, and the confirmation of our newest Supreme Court Justice, Neil Gorsuch. Even more important were the networking experiences made available that lead me to my current career ambitions."
Jackie Garagiola, 2017
Ag Policy Fellow Alumni
“My internships with KGFA and Rep. Mann taught me the importance of humility and curiosity – asking thoughtful questions, being willing to try (and fail), and accepting advice are important skills when working in policy.”
