Kudos from the CDC to the Penn State EXCITE Team

Our CDC partner Julie Zajac shared recently her enthusiasm for Penn State Ag Progress Days educational exhibit in August.  This is the largest outdoor ag exhibit in the state and hosted at The Pennsylvania State University’s – Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center.  4-H and FCS programming are featured in a large family and youth exhibit building. Julie reported that the immunization education exhibit was very engaging, well-staffed, and informative. Kudo’s to the PSU team as you greatly impressed Julie with your efforts!
