by Rachel Waggie, agricultural education and communication master’s student

Of the six state FFA officers elected at the 91st Kansas FFA Convention in May, five are agricultural education majors at K-State this year. Logan Elliott, Asbury, Missouri, president; Abby Goins, Oswego, vice president; Mason Prester, Wilson, sentinel; Lukas Sebesta, Wilson, treasurer; and Elizabeth Wright, Olsburg, secretary, are students in the agricultural education program. Elliott, Prester and Wright are freshmen, while Elliott and Goins are returning students. Agricultural education is well represented and we look forward to seeing what these students accomplish throughout their year in office.

AgEd Hosts “Tagged to Teach Ag” Event

by Rachel Waggie, agricultural education and communication master’s student

More than 150 high school students attended the “Tagged to Teach Ag” event. This event exposed students to careers in agricultural education and communications. Students were asked to visit four of six informative stations to receive a small prize. The booths were: agricultural education, agricultural communications, student life, the College of Agriculture, university admissions representatives and a photo booth.

Bakery Science cookies and Call Hall ice cream were served. It was coordinated by Allison Dix, senior in agricultural education and AgEd student volunteers. Dix says, “The Tagged to Teach Ag Event was very successful this year and was a great way to recruit students to the K-State College of Ag.”
