The University of North Georgia (UNG) recently established the first chapter of Professional Agricultural Student (PAS) Organization in the South, and UNG students quickly made their presence felt in multiple competitions at the recent PAS 2025 National Conference.
Jacque Conner of Dawsonville, Ashley Davis of Hoschton and Alyssa Foster of Talmo took first place in the nation in the Poultry Specialist career area event, which required the team to take a knowledge test, write a case study report on a real-world issue and give a presentation on a current event after only having 45 minutes to prepare. Additionally, Davis finished as the top individual in the category, with Conner second and Foster third.
Davis and Foster also competed individually in Agriculture Education with Davis landing in fourth and Foster taking eighth over. For this event, they created a lesson plan and gave a teaching demonstration.
