Ferguson College of Agriculture

 

The Oklahoma State University Department of Agricultural Education Communications and Leadership (AECL) faculty and students recently participated in the National American Association for Agricultural Education (AAAE) Conference.

 

This year the AAAE Conference was held via an online videoconference platform due to the threat of COVID-19. These circumstances did not discourage AECL faculty and students from being highly involved in this year’s research conference.

 

The Oklahoma State University AECL faculty and students brought home seven national awards and had nearly thirty entries including research papers, research posters and innovative idea posters.

 

The Oklahoma State University AECL leadership are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication by so many of OSU AECL faculty and students.
