Illinois Teach Ag Signing Event at State FFA Convention & National Teach Ag Day Breakout Box
Are you a senior in high school or a community college student who has decided to pursue a career in agricultural education? If so, we want to celebrate with you during the Illinois State FFA Convention! We will be hosting signing events by the University booths in the mezzanine on Tuesday, after the 1st General Session and on Wednesday, after the 3rd General Session. Please feel free to bring your parents, teacher or anyone else you want to cheer you on! The signing will just take a few minutes. We will have each person come up with their college rep and their supporters, sign their commitment to Agriculture Education. We will then take a photo and will have Teach Ag Swag to give you! Although you do not need to register to be part of the event, we would love to know that you are coming, so please fill out this quick form if you are going to be a part of the Teach Ag Signing Event!
Teachers and faculty, please share this opportunity with your students!
