MACOMB, IL - - Meet Schuyler Emerick, a Spring 2024 graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business. He recently began a career with DICKEY-john, an agricultural technology company.

Emerick said he began his path to DICKEY-john at WIU's annual Agriculture Career Fair.

"I got the job applying through their booth at the WIU career fair," Emerick said. "I had a follow up phone call and an interview where they asked me about my background and a few other questions about farming and my schooling."

Emerick felt the classes at WIU helped prepare him for the interview process, ensuring his spot in the company.

"WIU provided a lot of information about how to be professional and impressive at a job interview," Emerick said.

During his time at WIU, Emerick was a member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma fraternity and he plans to remain involved, supporting his fraternity and returning for multiple WIU events.
