Every month, the Agricultural and Extension Education Department chooses
to highlight certain students who are excelling well in our major or someone
who has gone above and beyond each month. For the month of April, Stacia Creed (@stacia_creed), a 2016 Student Teacher
Candidate was selected as our
Student of the Month!

As a graduate student, Stacia has had a long college
career pursuing what she loves and that is of course agriculture. She started
her educational career at Delaware Valley College (now known as Delaware Valley University) majoring in Livestock
Science and Management due to her love for animal production. After she
graduated with her bachelors, she knew that something was missing which led her
to the Penn State Agricultural and Extension Education Department. After discussing options
for her to get her degree and to become a teacher, she started Penn State
University in the spring of 2014.
Since Stacia has been at Penn State, she has taken it
upon herself to make a difference everywhere she goes! She is currently the
Teach Ag! Society Student Advisor and apart of the AEE Graduate Student Association.
Along with the various clubs she is involved in, she also is conducting her own
research with the 2015 Photo Contest submissions.
Stacia plans on graduating in May 2016 with a Master’s of
Education in Agricultural and Extension Education. After she receives her degree,
she plans on teaching at the high school level and becoming an agriculture
teacher. Her goal is to teach in Pennsylvania but, she is not opposed to
teaching in the Midwest because of its open spaces and community. Another dream
that she has is getting into Agritourism. “I don’t know if it will happen, but I would
love to teach the general public about where their food products come from
while showing them a working farm” We know that Stacia is going to do
great things in the future, and with a full education behind her, who knows
what she will do next!
