A VIBRANT COMMUNITY: A Message from the Editor
Returning to campus after the summer break
was marked by a vibrant and community-focused atmosphere. Students eagerly shared their summer endeavors, including internships and jobs, contributing to a renewed sense of community. As we reconnected on campus, we seamlessly resumed our togetherness, immersing ourselves in classes, organizations, jobs, internships, research, and social events to stay engaged and connected.
In this edition of The Enthusiast, you will learn about the recent happenings in AECM. You will meet new staff and some current students in the program. You will learn about our feature donor family of the semester and see the work of talented students.
There are also highlights of our fourth annual student showcase and student opportunities.
I am continuously amazed by the vibrant
and flourishing community that makes up
the Agricultural Education, Communication
and Marketing Program. I am honored to be surrounded by the next generation of agricultural communicators and educators. I cannot wait to share with you all the amazing accomplishments of AECM students in this fall edition!
