The College of Ag hosted its annual Ag Day celebration Wednesdayon the lawn adjacent to the Creamery. The weather was perfect with temps in the mid 60s as hundreds of students packed the lawn (and presumably skipped class) for some free ice cream and pictures with cute animals.

The day featured booths and activities from more than 40 of the college’s clubs and organizations. Attendees had the option to plant flowers, chop wood, play corn hole, and even pet animals.

The day is an opportunity for ag students to showcase what they have been working on during the past year. Keynote speakers were Rick Roush, dean of the college, as well as Nelson DiBiase, a representative from Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center.

Ag Day was the perfect opportunity for the college to share knowledge about the impact agriculture has on our community. Penn State’s agriculture program ranks in the top 10 in the U.S. and is considered the best agriculture school in Pennsylvania.
