Two agricultural communications students were recognized as Citizen Scholars at the December 2011 Board of Governors meeting. Alison Bos of Billings and Samantha Warner of Archie were among the six Citizen Scholars honored for the 2011-12 year. Nominated by two of our faculty members, Alison and Samantha were recognized for their dedication to the public affairs mission of the university through coursework, activities and service-learning opportunities.
Alison assists with recruiting and fundraising efforts for the Darr School of Agriculture and received the American FFA degree after her freshman year. She is also the president of the Horsemen’s Association and handles horses for therapeutic riding and hippo-therapy sessions.
Samantha served as president of the Missouri FFA during the 2009-2010 school year and was the first Missouri State student to serve as a candidate for a national FFA office. She also received the American FFA degree. Samantha was also one of 23 students chosen from across the United States to participate in an agricultural cultural exchange with students from Taiwan.
