Welcome!: Cassidy

Hi Everyone!

I’m Cassidy Cheddar and I’ll be one of the TA, along with Katie! I’m a junior majoring in Agriculture Education. My minors are in Agribusiness Management and International Agriculture. I live in Elizabethtown, a town in Lancaster County. Eventually, I want to be a high school agriculture teacher. Outside of classes, I’m involved in a few things. They include Teach Ag Society, Ag Student Council, Delta Theta Sigma, Grange, and the National Agri-Marketing Association.

I am super excited to be involved with this class again! I took it during my freshman year and loved it. Before that, I had only a basic working knowledge of Parliamentary Procedure. By the end, it was surprising how much I had learned. But, the cool thing was how fascinating everything can be. I love that once you get past the basics, you’ll start to run into little intricacies that can be really interesting and things you wouldn't think of at first. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and participate! Also, take as many out of class opportunities with FFA, 4-H, your schools, etc. as possible. The best way to learn is to teach someone else. Hopefully, you will find this class as rewarding as I have.

I’m looking forward to working with all of you!

About me: Katie

Hey guys!

 

My name is Katie Esarey and I am a senior in International Relations with a minor in History. After graduation in May, I am hoping to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer! Together with Cassie, I am one of the TAs this semester.

 

Although I was born in Chicago, I grew up in London, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Vienna, and have lived in Croatia. Apart from classes, I am involved in the UPUA, UPAC, Students Engaging Students, the Class Gift Campaign, Mortar Board Senior Honor Society, the Presidential Leadership Academy, and my sorority Phi Mu. As you can probably tell, I like to be busy!

 

When I took AEE 297a/CAS 216 three years ago as a freshman, I absolutely LOVED the class! The energy and fun that Dr. Foster brought to the class was infectious and the time always went by too quickly. When I received the invitation to TA this semester, I was super excited! Apart from the high entertainment level of the class, I really appreciated that the final was also the accreditation exam to become an official Parliamentarian. I thought the skills of running a meeting and an organization effectively and efficiently would be helpful to me personally, but I have been continuously surprised at how impressed internship coordinators and potential employers have been with the license.

 

Can't wait to dive in again with you!
