Minnesota Agricultural Education Leadership Council Executive Director Sarah Dornink was happy that more than 217,000 students participated in the virtual National FFA Convention last week. “Minnesota FFA members made the best of a difficult situation, participating and enjoying the experience. I’m also proud of the teachers in adapting. We’re trying to find ways to provide students leadership opportunities and career exploration, but it looks a little different than normal.” More virtual events could happen for the state moving forward, but Dornink said right now, it’s a wait and see. Minnesota also had strong recognition during the convention. “We had an Agri-Science Research Integrated Systems Proficiency award winner, Paige Stuber, other proficiency award finalists, 85 American Degree recipients, a national officer candidate, a nominating committee member and science fair finalists.”
