Collegiate Ag Ed STAR Bus Trip

Are you a college student interested in agricultural education?  Do you know a college student that you think would make a great ag teacher?  We would like to invite any college students interested in learning more about agricultural education on the STAR Bus Trip on September 23rd-24th in the Springfield area.  On this trip you will get a chance to visit agriculture teachers and their students as we travel around to a variety of agriculture programs.  You will get hands-on experience in working with horticulture, ag mechanics, training an FFA Officer team, and learn about working with a community (you'll also get fantastic take home items!).   For more information on where we will be going, check out the itinerary.
