BURLINGTON, Vt. (AgPR) — American Agri-Women have named Tera Koebel Baker, Three Oaks, Michigan, their 2018 winner of the Continuing Education (over 24 years old) American Agri-Women Daughters of American Agriculture Scholarship.
She will use the scholarship to pursue a Masters in Business Administration at Central Michigan University, Mount Pleasant, Michigan.
Lauren Siver, Purina Animal Nutrition, states, “Working with Tera Baker in a variety of professional capacities has proven herself to be an innovative, intuitive leader with a passion for advancing the agriculture industry and community”. Tera served as one of the advisors to the Michigan Junior Holstein Association Board of Directors, member of the 2018 National Holstein Convention Planning Committee. It was through her sole vision and excitement for the future of the dairy industry that an educational career program, “Cows 2 Careers”, was implemented at National Holstein Convention this year. She rallied significant corporate support, quickly making this the highest funded portion of the entire convention and inspired many universities to send delegates for student recruitment. She is known on the committee as a visionary with the skills to execute a plan.
While exhibiting dairy cattle has been an important part of Tera’s life, she has been involved in many other things. Most students can usually list a number of activities on their resume, but what separated Tera was she was actively involved! She provided input and leadership in every club and event she was involved with. She also completed a study trip to the Netherlands. She completed all of these activities and managed outstanding academic progress and grades, graduating near the top of her class in 3 years!
