The Highland Community Foundation is proud to announce a generous grant from Adkins Energy, enabling the HCC Agriculture program to purchase state-of-the-art bovine ultrasound and birthing simulator.
“The support from Adkins Energy represents a significant investment in the future of agricultural education at Highland,” said Olivia Kepner, an agriculture instructor at Highland. “With this simulator, our students will have the opportunity to develop crucial skills that will set them apart in today’s competitive job market.”
The simulator enhances hands-on learning for students in animal science and veterinary programs. It allows them to gain life experience in bovine birthing and ultrasound procedures in a controlled educational setting.
The Highland Agriculture Department continues to focus on providing top-tier educational experiences that blend traditional learning with modern technology. This underscores the commitment to preparing students for the challenges and opportunities in agriculture. Students graduate ready to enter successful careers in the evolving fields of agriculture, veterinary medicine and animal husbandry.
