AgCircle Magazine

AgSnacc Podcast
winter 2021
During the shift to virtual learning that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic, career exploration – especially important in high school agriculture programs – became difficult to incorporate into classrooms. Through a grant-funded opportunity with Agricultural Education & Communication department faculty member Erin Gorter, the Brock Center worked to produce 30-minute interviews from Gorter’s conversations with professionals in agricultural careers. The AgSnacc Podcast and accompanying curriculum materials are available at the student associate-created website https://www.agsnacc.com/
