Encouraging Ag Students Critical Thinking, Communication & Leadership Skills

Farm Management Canada wants to encourage agricultural students to improve their critical thinking, communication and leadership skills.

FMC has partnered with the Canadian Association of Diploma in Agriculture Programs to create the 2015-16 Excellence Award for Agricultural Students competition.

First place is a 15 hundred dollar scholarship.

It's open to agricultural students from across Canada.

Students are asked to submit a multimedia presentation, a video, a Twitter chat, a blog or a Wiki, responding to the following two-part question:

What top 3 priorities should Canada's agricultural industry focus on in order to be a leading agricultural body going forward?

How will you, as a new graduate, positively contribute to these priorities.

Competition details are on the Farm Management Canada website.

Deadline for applications is May 6th.
