WSU Ag Ed Club is geared toward better preparing Ag Ed Students to become Agricultural Educators, and support agricultural education and FFA events throughout the state. Any WSU student can join the club! Our club helps prepare our members for success teaching in the classroom, advising FFA chapters, and supervising Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs). We benefit our members by helping them network with current ag teachers, giving them a head start on implementing and coaching competitive events, developing their knowledge of agricultural industries and issues impacting the state and nation, as well as team bonding with their classmates and future colleagues. Our club supports the community by hosting FFA contests for Washington FFA groups across the state, providing judges for contests and workshops for students, and hosting the Washington State FFA Convention each year. We also advocate for our members to volunteer at fairs, local schools and chapters, and other FFA events around the state.
Our club members are always eager to learn more about agriculture and education. This year we are planning several professional development events and industry tours to further our members' knowledge before they reach the classroom. Some of these events include visiting various farms, a meat packing plant, aluminum boat factory, and setting up workshops to learn more about FFA contests. Additionally some of our members are going to the National Association of Agriculture Educators Western Region Conference , which is in Hawaii this year!!! Students will engage in professional development workshops with ag teachers from across the west and attend special sessions for pre-service ag teachers.
Your donation to Ag Ed Club will help keep these events possible and free to our club members. It will also increase the number and diversity of opportunities we can provide and help cover costs for students who are attending the NAAE conference. You’re also making an investment in the future of agricultural educators and future leaders in the agricultural industry. You will see a return on investment as these future teachers begin inspiring a passion for agriculture and learning in their future students.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
