A jacket that feels like home
June 11, 2025 | Written by Nya WynnAt the 2025 Delaware FFA State Convention, rows of students in their signature blue corduroy jackets gathered at University of Delaware’s Bob Carpenter Center to compete in professional competitions and connect with their peers. FFA allows students from elementary school through college to engage in agricultural activities and professional development that prepare them for careers across a variety of sectors. Students and teachers alike see FFA as a place to find belonging and community with those with similar interests and professional goals. The convention held this year at UD drew students from across Delaware to compete in various competitions and tour the campus to see if UD’s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources was a good fit for them. -

She was surrounded by not only fantastic restaurants and international flavor, but also the food system problems and its lack of access and affordability. She is motivated to find solutions.
