FFA Again Draws Upon Horticulture Faculty Members' Prowess

For the fifth consecutive year, two members of Penn College’s horticulture faculty shared their expertise during Pennsylvania FFA Convention/Activities Week in Centre County. Dennis P. Skinner, assistant professor, and instructor Carl J. Bower Jr. judged the Public Speaking-Conversation competition at Penn State on Tuesday and, on Wednesday, Bower (the co-chair of that category) judged the Nursery & Landscape Career Development Event held at the Central Pennsylvania Institute of Science & Technology in Bellefonte. The 86th annual event drew more than 1,400 high school students and chaperones from across Pennsylvania for a busy and varied agriculture-related agenda.
