7. Parliamentarian- Joseph Summers I am a senior Agricultural Engineering Tech. and Animal Science major at Tennessee Tech University. I come from a non-agriculture and suburban environment. I knew very little about agriculture when I came to Tech, but I have managed to learn a lot about the industry. I plan on attending graduate school in the fall and major in Animal Science. In between learning about agriculture I go fishing every chance I get and am quite involved in campus activities.
