FFA Honors CVM for Convention Support
 The
National FFA Organization honored the University of Missouri
College of Veterinary Medicine for its outstanding support
at a five-year exhibitor at the FFA National Agricultural
Career Show, held Oct. 24-26 at the Indiana Convention Center
in Indianapolis.
The career show is an integral part
of the National FFA Convention and highlights career opportunities
for agricultural students. Representatives of agribusiness,
universities and industry associations met with students throughout
the three-day event, which represented the group’s 42nd
annual show. Representing the MU CVM were Kathy Seay, admission
advisor for the college, and Morgan See, administrative assistant
for student and alumni affairs. They were joined by more than
415 other exhibitors who showcased the diversity of agriculture
and its related fields and presented information in a trade-show
setting.
There were more than 54,000 members
of FFA, advisors and guests in attendance at the convention
and career show. The 2007 theme, “Blue Jackets; Bright
Future,” celebrated students’ promise, spirit
and success. The efforts members devote to personal, career
and civic achievement engenders hope in local communities
and inspires confidence in a new generation and future of
agriculture.
FFA is a national youth organization
of 500,823 student members preparing for leadership and careers
in the science, business and technology of agriculture. There
are 7,358 local chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and
the Virgin Islands. FFA strives to make a positive difference
in the lives of students by developing their potential for
leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural
education.
