SUPPORT AECM STUDENTS
When you give to the University of Minnesota Agricultural Education, Communication & Marketing, you are maintaining and enriching our programs and helping to recruit and retain students in both our majors. Donations are used to support fellowships and scholarships, outreach programs, special research, Minnesota Teacher Induction Program (TIP) and activities that enhance the learning experiences for our students. Your gifts, in any amount, truly make a difference for our students, faculty, and staff! Learn more about our program in our AECM Case Statement (PDF).
We recently began a new AECM Undergraduate Scholarship fund to help support our Agricultural Education and Agricultural Communication & Marketing students. The information can also be found at: z.umn.edu/aecm_scholarship_ fund

MEET THE EDITOR
This semester, an Agricultural Education, Communication and Marketing student worker wrote and edited this edition of The Enthusiast newsletter.
Hi! I’m Natalie Beckendorf and I’m a junior studying Agricultural Communication & Marketing. I grew up on a hobby farm in Renville, Minnesota. My passion for agriculture and leadership led me to get involved with FFA and 4-H, and I served as a state leader for both organizations. On campus, I am involved in
Beta of Clovia Sorority, the Gopher Dairy Club, AECM Club, Block and Bridle, and NAMA. In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, fishing, and watching movies.
“I chose the University of Minnesota and the AECM program because of the opportunities, connections, and networking they have to offer. I love the tight- knit community of the St. Paul Campus and knew it was something I wanted to be a part of! I am grateful for the opportunity to work for the AECM program and have learned valuable skills that I can use in my future career.”
