By Katie Bohn

Penn State's agricultural and extension education program was well represented at this year’s National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE) National Convention, where multiple faculty, students and alumni participated in workshops and were recognized with awards.

The convention — which took place Dec. 8-12 in Nashville, Tennessee — is a professional development event for agriculture educators that offers workshops and networking opportunities.

Laura Rice, assistant professor of agricultural and extension education in the College of Agricultural Sciences, said the college’s participation in the convention highlights its commitment to shaping the next generation of agriculture educators.

“Collectively, these recognitions and contributions underscore Penn State’s leadership in agricultural teacher education, workforce development, global engagement and professional service,” she said. “It was a privilege to see our faculty, students and alumni making such a meaningful impact on the national stage.”
