Student Experiences

Mariah Huff Agricultural Education

Mariah Huff grew up showing pigs in 4-H and mentoring younger students, so her decision to major in Agricultural Education was a natural fit. But she took a step out of her comfort zone her last year in 4-H by entering the State Fair queen contest. It turned out the Miss Indiana State Fair title was also perfect fit. As reigning queen in 2013, her message—to youth and prospective college students—is “Don’t be afraid to try new things.”
