Ohio State agriscience education students will continue to ‘grow the next gen’

Dr. Susie Whittington and agrsicience education students Haley Sherman and Geoffrey Norris attended a grant presentation as a representative of Ohio State agriscience education at Battell on June 21, 2017.

The grant, presented to the Ohio Soybean Council from Battell, will allow pre-service agricultural educators to work with the GrowNextGen community for additional training time and materials to use while student teaching!

Thank you Battelle and Ohio Soybean Farmers for including Ohio State in this opportunity.

Ohio State Bound: Nicole

Welcome to Ohio State, Nicole!

Nicole is a recent graduate of North Union High School and will study agriscience education this fall.

When asked why she chose her major, she said “I chose agriscience education because my agricultural education classes changed my life so much. I don’t think I would be the same person without it. And I want to change someone’s life like it did me.”

She is excited to become a Buckeye for the experiences, new people and many memories that will come her way!

Ohio State Bound: Christie

Welcome to Ohio State, Christie!

She will study agricultural communication at the Columbus campus this fall.

When asked why she chose her major, Christie said “I chose agricultural communication because I’ve found a love for associating with people and writing. I’m most excited for the campus atmosphere and being a part of something much greater than myself!”

Ohio State Bound: Morgan

Welcome to the Buckeye family Morgan!

Morgan will major in agriscience education this fall.

When asked why she chose to major in agriscience education, she said “I chose my major because I’ve always wanted to be a teacher, but I could never decide what subject to teach until I joined FFA. I decided that this is the best option because it’s something I’m passionate about and always reminds me of my agricultural background and my roots.”

Cano to retire from Ohio State

Dr. Jamie Cano will retire from The Ohio State University on June 30, 2017.

Dr. Cano has been a staple to not only our department and university, but also to our Ohio agricultural education family since 1988.

Dr. Cano was a key teacher educator for those who attended Ohio State in the 1990’s and continued to engage in teacher education from then until now.  Key Ag Ed leadership and service roles in the profession included: Ohio FFA Foundation Board (treasurer), Ohio FFA Camp Board (vice president), Ohio FFA Convention stage left manager, National FFA Board of Directors and Foundation Board of Trustees, National FFA Officer Selection Committee Chair, editor of the Journal of Agricultural Education and editor of the Agricultural Education Magazine.

During his time at Ohio State, Dr. Cano won numerous teaching/advising, service, research conference and journal article awards.  As of late, his passion project has been his work in Honduras.  He has not only transformed the lives of our college students participating in this study abroad and the students attending through the program sponsored by the Ohio FFA Foundation, but mostly importantly he has transformed the lives of the people of Honduras as evidenced by being given the “Citizen of the Year” award for Choluteca, Honduras this past fall.  Dr. Cano’s last activities as an Ohio State faculty member are to take college and high school students to Honduras.

Beginning on July 1, 2017, Dr. Cano will join the faculty at Utah State University. Dr. Cano will have administrative responsibilities as the Associate Vice Chancellor for professional and technical education at USU-Eastern and as an Associate Department Head in ASTE. He will be located at the USU Eastern campus in Price, Utah.

The School of Applied Sciences, Technology & Education (ASTE) is pleased to announce that Dr. Jamie Cano will be joining the faculty

For those of you who have worked with him, been mentored by him and/or have been fortunate enough to be one of his students or advisees, please share in the comments fond memories or thoughts of how he has impacted your life.

Best of luck Dr. Cano! You will be missed at Ohio State.

Ohio State Bound: Micayla

Welcome to the Buckeye family, Micayla!


Micayla is a recent graduate of Western Reserve Schools and will attend Ohio State ATI in the fall majoring in agriscience education.
When asked about why she selected her major, she said “I chose agriscience education because I love working with others and communicating. I chose agriculture as my subject to teach because growing up in a rural community, I realized that it is the most important subject that everyone should have the chance to learn more about. I chose to be in the high school setting because the younger generations are the ones who need to have the most attention. I believe that involvement at the younger ages has an influence on the choices they will make. With my involvement in the FFA, it has led me to fall in love with a future I would love to wake up to in the morning.”


Micayla is excited to be a Buckeye in the fall because of the experiences and friendships in her future.

Ohio State Bound: Brenna

Welcome to Ohio State, Brenna!

Brenna is a recent graduate of Arcanum High School and will study agriscience education at the Columbus campus this fall.

“I chose agriscience education because I always wanted a career in agriculture, but had a hard time figuring out what to focus on. I was initially an animal science major, with a interest in swine nutrition. I switched to agriscience education because of my opportunity to participate in FFA for the first time (Arcanum just revived their chapter this year).”

Brenna continued, “I knew that I wanted to continue a path in agriculture, but also wanted to take what my years in 4-H and my year in FFA has taught me and use it to help teach students like myself, and hopefully make a lasting impact on their lives.”

Ohio State Bound: Kathaleen

Welcome to the Buckeye family, Kathaleen!

Kathaleen will be a freshmen studying agricultural communication on the Columbus campus this autumn.

When asked about why she selected her major, she said “I chose agricultural communication because I want to be a voice for the 2% of Americans that help feed the world.”

She is a recent graduate of Green High School and said “I’m excited to be part of the legacy of THE Ohio State University!”
