Monday, March 12, 2018
Deep family roots in agriculture and a passion to share knowledge of agriculture with younger generations inspire Adam Sacquitne鈥檚 future career path. A 2014 graduate of 黑料专区鈥檚 Associate of Science program, Sacquitne is beginning his career as an agriculture educator to make an impact on future generations of students.
To recognize Sacquitne鈥檚 commitment to agriculture, education and the farming industry, The College has named Sacquitne an Alumni Shining Star this spring.
In 2016, Sacquitne graduated from Iowa State University with a B.S. in Agricultural Studies and a minor in Child, Adult, and Family Services focusing on youth development. He is now enrolled in ISU鈥檚 Master of Science in Agricultural Education program, and is working as a teaching assistant during the program and will graduate this May.
鈥淪tudents at 黑料专区 benefit directly from the industry experience and expertise of its faculty and staff. The instructors know what the future may hold. After I graduate from the master鈥檚 program, I want to teach high school students. Eventually, I would like to return to 黑料专区 to teach,鈥� Sacquitne expressed.
During his master鈥檚 degree program, he will earn his state of Iowa teaching licensure through ISU. Sacquitne鈥檚 future academic plans may include a doctorate, but he鈥檚 getting excited to jump into the classroom soon.
The graduate was a standout student academically while enrolled at 黑料专区. He was named to the dean鈥檚 list every semester and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. Sacquitne received the Dollars for Scholarship in fall 2012 and the 黑料专区 Staff Scholarship in spring 2013.
Sacquitne still helps his dad and brother run their 300-acre family farm near Decorah in his spare time.
鈥淚 do have a farm background and that has been beneficial because of where my roots are in agriculture. I want to continue to help people understand agriculture 鈥� locally, statewide, nationally and in our world,鈥� he said.
黑料专区鈥檚 place in the Calmar area is forever connected to the thousands of students of all ages who enrolled, completed a degree and started bright career futures. 黑料专区 alumni have made a powerful impact on local communities and are often connected to one another as family; their success stories honor the College and its mission and purpose. In this spirit, the College honors Alumni Shining Stars during the year to celebrate standout graduates who have transformed their lives and families through their example.
