Emma Rader started her freshman year at Virginia Tech, studying Animal and Poultry Science (APSC), with her sights set currently on Veterinary School. She loves working and connecting with animals during the weekly APSC Labs in her first semester – cattle, swine, goats, you name it – but she really took charge when they learned the art of “sheep flipping.” Choosing one of the larger ones from the pen, she had her sheep calmly resting on his haunches in no time…no doubt drawing on her 2 years of experience raising 4-H market lambs here at Tidewater! Other than college life, she remains active in her church/mission work and hopes to be selected as a leader with the Appalachia Service Project mission for Summer 2018, a group she has volunteered with during the past 5 years.
