The Center for Professional Personnel Development would like to recognize Seanna Geiger as the December Agricultural and Extension Education Student of the Month. Seanna is from Sheshequin, Pennsylvania and attended Athens Area High School. She transferred from Lackawanna College where she received an associates degree in Professional Studies and is now a part of the #psuaged24 cohort at Penn State and will graduate in the spring with a degree in Agricultural and Extension Education. Seanna shares, "Penn State was always a dream for me after attending FFA summer convention as a student. When I decided I wanted to pursue Ag Ed I knew that Penn State is where I wanted to go." Seanna is not a stranger to agricultural education as she went through the Athens FFA program in high school. She was a member for all four years of high school and participated in many events such as livestock judging, public speaking, and many conferences. She also held the office positions of Historian from 2018-2019 and Vice President from 2019-2020. Seanna grew up in agriculture living on her mom's dairy farm and raising her own laying hens. Seanna says, "This was just the start of my love for agriculture, once I joined the ag program my high school offered it truly opened my eyes to how much more ag held. My true passion lays in the poultry industry where I hope to learn more as time goes on and start a meat chicken operation of my own."
During her time at Penn State, Seanna had the opportunity to participate in the GOALs program and teach in Henry County Kentucky. She says, "This was an incredible experience not only in Kentucky but also attending the World Food Prize was an awesome experience that I was able to make a lot of connections at.". She was also a camp counselor for Outdoor School, go to teach in a non-traditional setting, and gain confidence in herself professionally. Seanna is a member of the Sigma Alpha Professional Sorority where she is chair of philanthropy and works part time in West dining hall as a crew leader. Her favorite place to hang out on campus is in the ASI building. Seanna says, "Anytime I need a place to focus or to have study times with my friends this is where we have gone and it now has become my favorite building on campus". Her favorite class at Penn State is AEE 311 because she has been able to learn about everything that goes into preparing to be an ag teacher and has her excited to be an FFA advisor. She enjoys eating at her favorite restaurant SNAP Pizza, cheering on Penn State sports teams, and having coffee or going for walks with her friends. When she is home, Seanna loves hiking, hunting, fishing, and scrapbooking. In her future, she would like to move back home to Bradford county and find a job teaching agriculture in either Pennsylvania or New York.
