CARBONDALE, ILL. (KFVS) - Southern Illinois University Carbondale hosted it’s first-ever national FFA horse judging event on Dec. 11.
Nearly 300 FFA students, from 60 schools and 22 states, participated.
Due to the pandemic, the SIU faculty and staff had to “think outside the classroom.”
“The one thing that SIU has, which I think is very different, is the experience,” Perry said. “Students come to SIU get to learn in a student-centered environment. What we teach in the classroom, they get to practice on the farm.”
