For some college students, their campus becomes a home away from home. For agricultural education student Jonathan Moules, school, work and home all blended together.

Moules moved into his new home on the University farm in August, smack dab in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic that turned campus into a ghost town.

While the majority of students, faculty and staff adjusted to working remotely during the 2020-21 school year, about 80 ag students continued to work on the 1,000-acre University farm — caring for animals, tending to crops and putting products on the shelves of the Gibson Farm Market and other local retailers.

Nestled in the heart of the most agriculturally rich region in the world, Fresno State has long celebrated its farming roots and expertise while priding itself as one of the top universities for future farmers.
