...................................................................................................................................... An Aggie is the nickname for a student at Utah State University (formerly the Utah Agricultural College pre-1957). “Aggies�comes from the word "agriculture" which was the primary interest of many students in those early years of the university. We like to think of "International Aggies" as Utah State University students from anywhere in the world (including the U.S.) who have an appreciation for the cultures around the globe!
