UT Martin Sigma Phi Epsilon member Nicholas Carpenter (2022) recently received the American Degree from the Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization in recognition of his contributions to agriculture education.
The FFA describes the American FFA Degree as:
As the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree shows an FFA member’s dedication to his or her chapter and state FFA association. It demonstrates the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career.
American FFA Degree recipients show promise for the future and have gone above and beyond to achieve excellence.
Less than one percent of FFA members nationally achieve this honor. Recipients receive a certificate and the American FFA Degree key in honor of their accomplishments and dedication to FFA.
