Postcards from LWC: Eddie van Wya 2021-09-07 - Columbia, KY - Photo courtesy Eddie van Wyk. By Dakota Smith Hello all! Meet Eddie van Wyk. Eddie is from Pretoria, South Africa, where Harvest Day is celebrated. Harvest Day enables producers and other role players in the agricultural industry to experience the latest technology and products on offer in the farming industry first-hand and on one terrain. The reason he chose LWC is because he feels that God sent him to leave an influence and have a positive impact. He is looking forward to his track and field season and is enjoying his time in America, but he finds the currency exchange and differences in the metric system the most challenging. If you see Eddie on campus, make sure to say hello! Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
