Donor Profile - Steve Evers
It’s one of the most gratifying experiences of my life,” Steve Evers explains on teaching horticulture students and helping them launch meaningful careers in the agriculture industry.
Steve worked as an engineer for 30 years and after taking a couple of classes in Landscape Design, he decided he wanted a degree in crop production because he loved the science of growing food. He ended up teaching at Cabrillo and over the past 10 years has worked with several students who have gone on to have agricultural careers. He remembers one student who went on to Cal Poly and now travels the world advising on growing
strawberries for Driscoll’s.
Steve is leaving a portion of his estate to Cabrillo’s Horticulture program to support students with scholarships. “It’s inspirational for me to share this agricultural knowledge and see how a student goes on to have a great career and grow food for us. It’s my intent to help students like this. I feel that farmers are underappreciated in our society considering how important they are to civilization.
