Ag Econ students selected to top 10 freshman lists

Five agricultural economics department students were included in the ten top freshman men and top ten freshman women lists announced by OSU’s Mortar Board at the September 19 football game.

Among the top ten freshman women are:
• Haley Baumgardner, Agribusiness, Carrier
• Carly Schnaithman, Agribusiness, Garber

Among the top ten freshman men are:
• Garrett Blake Jackson, Agricultural Economics, Hartshorne
• Randy Gordon, Agribusiness, Taloga
• Ryan Ramseyer, Agricultural Economics, Wichita, Kansas

Mike Woods, Department Head, states that while we had less than 2% of the OSU freshman class in the agricultural economics department last year, we had 25% of the top freshman men and women.

Dr. Shannon Ferrell serves as the advisor for all of these students. He says, “The fact that year after year, so many of our University’s highest achievements are won by Ag Econ students speaks volumes about this department. When our best and brightest students are looking for a department with outstanding faculty and staff that create an environment where the student can thrive, they come here.”
