Eva Scollo
Eva Scollo describes being an agricultural education student as an unmatched opportunity. She cites countless opportunities to enhance her knowledge of agriculture, education and leadership — and credits her network for encouraging her to take advantage of those experiences. “I love being an agricultural education student at Purdue because of the supportive community and the opportunities to connect with industry professionals.”
Luke Minniear
When Luke Minniear was deciding on a college to attend, he was looking at Purdue and a small school in southern Ohio. Both schools had their advantages, but what Purdue had was more opportunities. “A person can always make a big college smaller but not a small college bigger,” he said. Once he toured campus, he knew Purdue was the right choice. He even had the chance to talk with different faculty and staff who all expressed genuine interest in what he wants to do and what he wants to accomplish.
