The Aggies Club was established during the 1968-69 academic year, making the 2018-2019 academic year the 50th Anniversary of the club. It is open to any student who has an interest in Agriculture.
It has traditionally been the largest club on campus, but now shares that title with the Collegiate Farm Bureau as students are encouraged to join both clubs. The club meets once monthly for a meeting and meal. It also has at least one additional activity each month. The activities center on community service, recreation, leadership and education.
The club is best known in the community for hosting an annual Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry where over 300 community/campus individuals attend. They host an all-campus Casino Night at least once a year and also keep a two-mile stretch of Highway 14 clean through the Adopt-A-Highway program.
Recreational activities included Turkey Bowling at Thanksgiving time, an Ugly Christmas Sweater and Gingerbread House competition at Christmas time, Easter egg dying in the spring and a Watermelon Explosion. Educational topics vary and usually involve bringing in a guest speaker or going through a Call to Action program to learn how to better advocate for Agriculture.

I chose NJC because of their athletic program as well as their academic standard.
My business professors are great and I have learned a lot so far in my short time here.
NJC helped me obtain my GED and from there has only pushed me further to continue my education.
