Ashton Harper, a junior Rural Studies major from Ocilla, is looking forward to a great fall semester at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
   “I am excited about being a part of an innovative new degree like Rural Studies,” Harper said. “Since beginning at ABAC three years ago I have been looking for a way to get a Bachelor’s Degree from Georgia’s State College of Choice.”
   Harper says that the small class sizes and open door policy of the professors make ABAC a great place to get an education. He has made the most of his time here at ABAC by being involved on campus including a year as president of the Ambassadors.  Harper also enjoys competing in ABAC intramural sports such as flag football and softball.
   “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God” by Leo Buscaglia is Harper’s favorite quote.
