John Banask

Degree: Bachelor of Science

Concentration: Horticultural Science-BS Plant Breeding & Biotech in HS

How are you planning to use your degree?

I think it’ll make a really nice wall decoration, but eventually, I think I’d like to come back for a Master’s Degree so I can teach.

List clubs and activities while in school.

I spent a lot of time working on campus but also a lot of time in the horticulture undergrad lounge.

Whom do you want to thank?

I want to thank my family, my friends, the entire horticulture department staff, Hill of Beans, the Lofi Girl, and viewers like you.

What is the best thing about studying horticulture at NC State?

Helen Kraus and Lis Meyers, hands down. With honorable mentions to the couches in the undergad lounge and Isaac’s funny emails!

Do you have plans for after graduation? Are you currently working?

I was thinking about taking a breath for a bit. Work-wise, I already have a job I’ll continue to work at on campus. Eventually, I’ll probably want to return to school but I’ll probably have to wait until they’ve forgotten about me (I am just kidding, hopefully).
