March 2019 Student of the Month: Killian George: @KillianGeorge

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. A freshman, Killiann George has been chosen as our March Student of the Month! Let's learn a little more about Killian and why we've decided to choose her as Student of the Month.

Killiann is currently a freshman in the Agricultural and Extension Education program, but don't let her semester standing fool you. She is the Social Committee chair for LEAD Society, a student worker for the Center for Professional Personnel Development, and a TeachAg! Avenger. She was inspired to become an Agricultural Educator after watching her high school teachers. "I saw how they encouraged students to become their best and helped them reach their end goals while advocating for an industry they are passionate about." Killiann is excited to inspire and encourage students to reach their fullest potential.
