Emory New is one of those students people know before actually meeting her. A graduating senior from the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, helping people is at the heart of everything she does.
Emory grew up in a rural community located in Nash County, North Carolina. “Agriculture is very near and dear to my heart because of where I grew up and with my family being involved in the industry,” she explains.
Throughout middle and high school Emory was an active member of the North Carolina 4-H Program and later Future Farmers of America. A middle school robotics course introduced her to engineering and problem-solving skills she continued to explore through The Engineering Place, a summer program offered by NC State College of Engineering (COE).
Those interests, paired with an on-campus experience, eventually led her to study at NC State University.
