The program is designed to encourage the exchange of ideas between the members of the Student Board and the management and Board of Farm Credit of Southern Colorado. Each semester the Student Board will complete a case study that directly relates to the operations of Farm Credit. They will then present their findings to the management and Board of Farm Credit. "The students have a different perspective on issues and it provides us the opportunity to reexamine our point of view," said Gary Pautler, board chairman of Farm Credit of Southern Colorado. Junior, Senior and Graduate level CSU students from the Colleges of Agriculture and Business are invited to apply each semester. Fourteen students were selected to serve on the inaugural Student Board during the Fall 2008 Semester. The students were chosen based on their agricultural background, interest in agriculture, rural business and finance, and their career aspirations. 1/12/09 Date: 1/5/09
