Our rising seniors in agriscience education recently learned their student teaching placements for Spring Semester 2027!

Each year, fourth-year agriscience education seniors are paired with Ohio high school agricultural educators and FFA advisors who serve as mentors throughout their student teaching experience. These ACEL Buckeyes will begin their student teaching journey in January as they prepare for their future careers as agricultural educators.

When Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership student Derick Findley stepped foot on campus at Ohio State ATI, he found a tight-knit campus with no shortage of Buckeye spirit. ❤️

While representing the 2026 graduating class of ATI during our Graduating Students Celebration this spring, he shared, "The ATI faculty and staff make campus feel like home. They know who you are and are there to support you."

Wishing ACEL Buckeye Adrianna Meyer a great summer during her internship with UMN Extension Clay County!

Please join us in welcoming our new Summer 4-H Intern-- Adrianna!

We’re excited to have her join the Clay County 4-H team and hope you enjoy getting to know her a little better:

What are you most looking forward to with this summer internship?
“I am looking forward to learning more about Minnesota 4-H and saying ‘yes’ to new experiences in a new state.”

What were your favorite 4-H projects—or what are your hobbies/interests outside of 4-H?
“My favorite project is goats since that is what got my start in the 4-H program, but I also enjoyed taking family history projects where my mom and I learned more about my family's roots and backgrounds.”

What’s your favorite fair memory?
“My favorite fair memory involves serving on the Ohio State Fair Junior Fair Board. For two weeks, I served alongside like-minded individuals at our state fair where we educated others about agriculture, announced shows, ushered concerts, and more. However, the best memories came from the evenings we spent together bonding through games, becoming professional root beer float ‘floaters,’ and exploring the fairgrounds.”

Be sure to say hello when you see her at events this summer—we’re so glad she’s here! 🎉
