November 2018 Student of the Month: Lisa Boltz! (@BoltzLisa)

Every month we recognize a student within the Agricultural and Extension Education program who has gone above and beyond as our Student of the Month. In November, this student was Lisa Boltz, a Senior in the program. Let's learn a little more about Lisa, and why she's been chosen as our November Student of the Month:

Lisa is originally from Lickdale, PA, located in Lebanon County. She was a graduate of Northern Lebanon High School in 2014, where she went on to serve as Pennsylvania FFA's State Treasurer in 2014-2015 before starting her Penn State journey in the fall of 2015 at Penn State Berks. During her past two years at the University Park campus, Lisa has been engaged in everything the College of Agricultural Sciences has to offer while still staying involved with the FFA.

A little more about Lisa:

Birthday: October 9th, 1995
Favorite PSU Class: HORT 201 (tree climbing)
Favorite Sports Team: Penn State Football
Favorite Hangout on Campus: Ferguson Building
Favorite thing at PSU: "Without a doubt my favorite thing at Penn State is the school pride in EVERYTHING. You experience Penn State Pride at sports events, on campus, and even off campus when you meet complete strangers that were once Penn Staters!"
Favorite place to eat in State College: "This is difficult because I try not to go out frequently! I’d say it’s a tie between Moe Monday’s with my roommates and Cracker Barrel dates with the cohort."
Favorite Quote: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela
