- Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education at Virginia Tech 1918 - 2018Hillison, John H. (Virginia Tech, 2018-09-22)As we celebrate a century in agricultural education, leadership education, and community education at Virginia Tech it is fitting we recognize the shoulders we stand on. Those giants who built our foundation and nurtured our department throughout these many years. It is also fitting that we recognize the many students, staff, and faculty who have shaped who we are and what we do in the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond. We want to thank everyone for the wisdom, skills, and talents which have carried ALCE to this milestone. From being the birthplace of the National FFA organization to education programs for beginning farmers, to strengthening secondary agricultural education programs, to developing youth leaders from Virginia to Africa, the department is known throughout the United States and indeed around the globe for teaching, discovery, and outreach that improves the lives of the people we serve. As we look to the future we are encouraged by the continued support of our alumni and friends, our outstanding students, talented staff, and dedicated faculty. The future of ALCE is indeed bright!
- One Hundred Years of Agricultural Education at Virginia TechVines, Karen A.; Hillison, John H. (Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education in association with VT Publishing, 2018-11-16)In 2018 the Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education (ALCE) celebrated one hundred years of agricultural education at Virginia Tech. The initial mission of the department, founded in 1918 as the Department of Agricultural Education and Animal Science, was to educate agricultural teachers to work in secondary education in rural communities. This mission has evolved and expanded over the decades to include preparation of Extension professionals while developing new programs designed to meet the ever-changing needs of rural and urban communities alike. The interviews presented in this volume tell this story through the unique perspectives of fourteen former and present students, faculty, and administrators. Taken together, these interviews bring the department’s history to life while also using the past as a springboard into a future that undoubtedly will be characterized by continued change grounded in ALCE’s ongoing commitment to excellence.
