With a more exploratory path for students to walk through and better sound distribution, the attendees and the employers were able to mingle more freely and could converse clearer than ever before. With a great turnout of 141 students, we are so proud of how this event went. Two $500 scholarships were raffled and awarded to CAHNRS student attendees. The winners this year were Eloy Garcia-Romero majoring in Animal Science, and Emma Hurguy majoring in Earth &amp; Environmental Sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"a Schneider Farms representative talks with a student at his Career Fair booth \" class=\"wp-image-8607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159284_46eb32873d_o-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Two Bartlett Tree Experts representatives speak with students at their Career Fair booth\" class=\"wp-image-8608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/54839159454_92843d6b92_o-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With various employers ranging from Bartlett Tree Experts to AgriBeef, there was something for everyone in agriculture and animal science to explore.

Apple Cup game this year, SSAP threw a CAHNRS tailgate open to the public. The event featured both WSU alumni and husky fans alike vibing to the live band music under a perfectly temperate sun peaking through the shade of tents and trees. With Dean Khosla, Associate Deans Deringer and Hulbert, and plenty of CAHNRS folks in attendance, there was a great opportunity for the public and alumni to talk with leadership in a comfortable setting, grab a drink, snacks, and even pick up some nearby Washington-grown french fries given out for free by Washington Potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing planes were seeing flying over the stadium before the game in celebration of their sponsorship, but they weren&#8217;t the only cool thing in the sky.

I\u2019m especially excited about the opportunity to collaborate with passionate colleagues across the state who are committed to making a real difference in people\u2019s lives.

I am passionate about agricultural education and look forward to helping youth discover their passions and gain confidence through meaningful projects and experiences. The sense of community and support in 4-H and at WSU extension has been amazing, thank you to everyone that has helped me and my county thus far, you are appreciated! A little bit about me, I was previously an agriculture educator and FFA advisor, and I grew up in 4-H starting at five years old and mainly showed dogs and dairy cattle. Outside of work I have a small family farm with horses and chickens, I enjoy floral design, and anything outdoors including hiking, camping, and snowboarding.

My name is Em Rendleman (they\/them), and I am an Agricultural Research Technician in the Keller Lab, Viticulture and Enology Department. I am stationed at the Prosser IAREC, and my job includes managing operations in the vineyard, greenhouse, and growth chambers. I have never worked with grapes before, so all the learning opportunities I have in store are very exciting, and I am thrilled to connect with other members of WSU. So far, the highlight of the job has been experiencing the grape harvest, which was only a little bit sticky. I am originally from the St. Louis, MO area, and became a Coug in 2020, graduating in 2022 with a Masters in Entomology. I guess you can add me to the tally proving that Cougs always come home. I currently live in the Tri-Cities with my girlfriend (also a Coug), and I enjoy reading, fishing, embroidery, and exploring the area. Thanks for the warm welcome, and of course, Go Cougs!<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:27px;width:20%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"top:0;right:20px;height:55px;width:200px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium\">__________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Other New Staff Include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Nathan Oates &#8211; AgWeatherNet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corinn Rutkoski &#8211; CSANR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Micaela Cristina Proano &#8211; Entomology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Desiree Otis &#8211; Ag and Natural Resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alexis Brandy Alexander &#8211; CSS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kendra Wales &#8211; Children&#8217;s Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saleen McEntire &#8211; Animal Science<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kevin Paul Smith &#8211; Puyallup R&amp;E Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tabitha Cuevas-Rodriguez &#8211; Puyallup R&amp;E Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brooke McCulla &#8211; Children&#8217;s Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Matthew Kruger &#8211; Animal Science<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kelsey Hoots &#8211; Energy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Em Rendleman &#8211; Prosser R&amp;E Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Misty Gludt &#8211; Children&#8217;s Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are new staff and you&#8217;d like to be featured in next month&#8217;s newsletter, please reach out to k.tsatsomeros@wsu.edu and share your photo along with your answer to the questions outlined in the introduction to this story.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<section  class=\"wsu-section  wsu-width--full wsu-border--color-midnight wsu-color-background--gray-5\"  >\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-section__inner wsu-width--content\">    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wsu-heading--style-marked wsu-spacing-after--xxmedium\">Gordon Davis Visits Pullman Campus <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"bottom:0;left:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"bottom:0;left:0;height:27px;width:25%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:27px;width:25%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"bottom:60px;right:0;height:35px;width:500px\"><\/div>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-dropshadow--medium wsu-color-background--white wsu-card--layout-reversed wsu-card--style-horizontal-50\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-6-4\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd.png\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd.png 6530w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd-1024x728.png 1024w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd-768x546.png 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd-1536x1091.png 1536w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2025\/10\/copydd-2048x1455.png 2048w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 6530px) 100vw, 6530px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Gordon Davis shakes hands with Elyssa, a CAHNRS student Ambassador.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title  wsu-font-size--large\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA Visit to Remember<br>\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-card__content-custom\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>We welcomed back to Pullman Dr. Gordon Davis, the benefactor who has provided the CAHNRS Cashup Davis Family Endowed Deanship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Davis was raised in Deer Park, WA and studied Ag Sciences and received his Education certificate from WSU.

6, in Pullman, the Great Hall of the Lewis Alumni Center became a hub of reflection and inspiration as WSU welcomed keynote speaker Corey Ciocchetti. With approximately 50 attendees in person and 124 joining online, Ciocchetti delivered a thought-provoking message centered on leadership, character, and the timeless philosophical concept of \u201cthe Golden Mean,\u201d attributed to Aristotle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encouraging WSU administration, staff, and faculty to lead from a place of wisdom, reason, and virtue, Ciocchetti challenged the audience to consider how character is cultivated not at the extremes, but in the balanced center\u2014where integrity and thoughtful decision-making reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message was enriched by personal reflections and powerful quotes that shaped his own philosophy. Among them, John Bogle\u2019s reminder to \u201cnever put your job above your family\u201d and Eric Hoffer\u2019s insight, \u201cYou can never get enough of what you do not need to make you happy,\u201d resonated deeply with attendees, sparking conversations about values-driven leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event was complemented by a light luncheon catered by Paradise Creek, offering a warm and collegial atmosphere for continued dialogue and connection. Attendees followed the presentation by creating a brown bag lunch on Oct 16 for discussion and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ciocchetti\u2019s keynote left a lasting impression, reminding the WSU community that true leadership begins with character\u2014and character begins with choosing a virtuous, centered approach.
