Growth does not happen all at once. More often it unfolds through small challenges, meaningful mentors and the decision to lean into opportunity. When Leah Hurd looks back on her time at Purdue, she reflects on a defining chapter that shaped her career and her confidence. A 2020 graduate in agricultural education, with a minor in animal sciences, Hurd arrived at Purdue from Shirley, Indiana, ready to pursue a future in agriculture. Her passion for teaching did not happen overnight. “My FFA experience sparked my love for educating people about where their food comes from and the breadth of agriculture,” Hurd said. “My dad was my high school ag teacher, so for the longest time I said I would never be a teacher. But through FFA, I realized agricultural education was exactly where I belonged.”
