May 2018 Student of the Month: Megan Royer (@Megyyy22)

Each month we like to highlight students that have gone above and beyond in their involvement in the agriculture education program at PSU! We are proud to announce that Megan Royer (@Megyyy22) was selected as May's Student of the Month! Let's learn about her adventure and accomplishments so far.

Megan is a freshman majoring in Agriculture and Extension Education with hopes of becoming an agricultural educator. Megan had began her freshman year of high school by taking an Introduction to Agricultural Sciences class. When she took that class it became apparent to her that it was the place for her. Megan's ambition to be an agriculture educator came from her high school agriculture teacher, Mr. Heasley. She had become aware of how much of an impact he made on some many students during his career as well as her. She stated, "He didn't just teach us about the importance of an industry that took care of everybody else, but he also taught us how to care for others, how to care for the land we live on, and for the community."

Megan is involved in LEAD Society, a TeachAg avenger, and the 2017-2018 Centre County Grange Fair Queen.
