The AMS Student Awards and Recognition Luncheon was a good reminder of the great up and coming talent we have in this industry.
The American Agricultural Editors’ Association (AAEA) scholarships, presented by Future Ag Communicators committee chair Laurie Bedord, were awarded to Cameron Jodlowski, Iowa State University; Mara McGurl, University of Georgia; and Kelsey Litchfield, University of Illinois. Kelsey was honored with the Jim Evans Scholarship this year, which made her very proud since he is one of her mentors!
Four young ladies were honored to be finalists for the Forrest Bassford Student Award, sponsored by Alltech. They are Kaitlin Morgan and Nicole Lance, both from Kansas State; Jamie Keyes, Utah State; and Kendall Herren, University of Illinois. Nicole was the winner – but they are all winners in our eyes!
AAEA also introduced this year’s two interns – Allison Fortner from the University of Georgia and Josh Booth, University of Missouri – who have been manning the registration desk. Their internships are sponsored by the AAEA Professional Improvement Foundation, BCS Communications and Gardner and Gardner Communications.
