In addition, they participate in several leadership and advocacy conferences.

Generations of FFA Members

I attribute much of my success in FFA to my time at Northeastern and the connections I made while I was there. As a student, I gained a deeper appreciation for agriculture by diversifying my course of studies and through my involvement as a workstudy for the agriculture department. I progressed as a leader by being involved in different activities on campus, including the Aggies Club, Honors Program, Ranch Horse Versatility team, student senate, Collegiate Farm Bureau, and two different student ministries; Crossroads and Roundpen. At Northeastern, I also developed my interpersonal skills as a resident assistant and student ambassador. - Stephanie Bushnell '19, animal science and agriculture education, 2019-2020 Colorado FFA State Reporter
