Nichole Neubauer awarded Medicine Hat College honorary degree

The Neubauer farm was established north of Irvine in 1910 and has been owned and operated by a member of the family ever since. Neubauer Farm is often featured as part of CHAT TV’s ongoing On The Farm series.

As a passionate advocate for agriculture and education in our region, she not only runs her own business, but also grows access to learning opportunities that teach students about food production, farm operations management, and entrepreneurship, the college said in a statement.

Combining her early learning education from Medicine Hat College, where she attended from 1996 to 1998, with her agricultural background, Neubauer’s work has brought farm life to the forefront for more than 22,000 student visitors from across southeast Alberta, the college said.

Her influence and impact on education continued to grow with her involvement in the creation and coordination of the Irvine Agricultural Discovery Centre with Prairie Rose Public Schools, according to the college.

I am profoundly honoured to receive the 2024 Medicine Hat College Honorary Baccalaureate Degree,” Neubauer said in a released statement.

“For the past 20 years, thanks to the incredible support of my community, I have been empowered to fulfil my life’s purpose of teaching children where their food comes from and that agriculture is the fundamental connection to life,” she added.

“I dedicate this recognition with those who have supported and believed in me along this amazing journey.”
