Each month we like to highlight students that have gone above and beyond in their involvement in the agriculture education program at PSU! Our October student of the month is Ms. Victoria Herr! Victoria is a senior in the Agricultural and Extension Education Program, preparing to student teach in the spring at Penns Manor high school in Indiana County, PA. Let's learn a little bit about her as we celebrate her achievements and success!
Victoria has been involved in FFA all throughout her high school career at Penn Manor, competing in multiple State and National Career Development Events (CDE's). Her Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) in high school was raising hogs and dairy beef. She served as a county officer and went on to also serve as the 2014 - 2015 Pennsylvania FFA secretary and received her American Degree in 2015.
Since arriving at Penn State Victoria has been very active within the college community. Here on campus, Victoria has been involved in Teach Ag Society, Collegiate FFA, and is a founding member and current President of The LEAD Society at Penn State. She also is a member of Alpha Tau Alpha chapter on campus, the national professional honorary agricultural education organization. We asked Victoria what her favorite thing about Penn State is, and she responded, " I love the family atmosphere and camaraderie! I've always felt at home at Penn State!".
