Clark A. Brewington Scholarship Winners – Where Are They Now?

2022 Clark A. Brewington Memorial Scholarship Recipient

Hadley Beechinor at the 2022 Columbia REA Annual Meeting

My first year of college at the University of Idaho was more fulfilling and full of opportunities for personal growth than I would have ever expected. At the beginning of my freshman year I joined a sorority, Kappa Alpha Theta, which has led me to meet wonderful individuals and grow tremendously as a person. In this chapter, I have taken on the role of Academic Development Director where I provide other members with support in their academics and learning.

I also took on roles in many other clubs and activities in the university. This past year I was involved in Collegiate Young Farmers and Ranchers, where I have taken on the role of County Liaison and am a official board member of the Latah County Farm Bureau; I played in the University of Idaho Orchestra; and I was recently elected as a College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Ambassador.

I also worked as a student intern at the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council. In this position I interacted with members in the industry, helped to organize our annual Western Pulse Growers Annual Meeting, and much more.

On the academics side, I had a great first year of classes and ended both semesters on the Dean’s List. My favorite class so far has been Agriculture Markets and Prices. I am now currently working as an administrative intern at Beef Northwest in North Powder for the summer.

I have many exciting things coming up this semester, including my trip to Washington, DC for the AFA Agriculture Policy Institute with a selection of only 40 students across the nation.

Thank you, Columbia REA! Many of my experiences would not be possible without your support and generosity.
