Featured Student

Courtney Ruth
Courtney Ruth, a junior from Houston, Mississippi, said that she found her identity in the agricultural education classrooms. Now studying agricultural education, leadership and communication herself, Ruth chose to be an ambassador for CALS for the opportunity to lead and to guide. After graduation, she wants to continue leading and guiding through agricultural education and even hopes to find a program with a junior chapter, so that she can teach as broad a base as possible about the importance of agriculture.
