CME Group awards pork industry scholarships

The CME Group at the annual business meeting of the National Pork Producers Council – the National Pork Industry Forum held March 8-9 in Orlando, Fla. – awarded scholarships to four college students who intend to pursue careers in the pork industry. NPPC administers the scholarship selection process.

The winners of the $2,500 Lois Britt Memorial Pork Industry Scholarships – named after the late NPPC vice president from Mt. Olive, N.C. – are:



– Sarah Marketon, Howard Lake, Minn., freshman at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities.

– Janae Mogler, Alvord, Iowa, sophomore at South Dakota State University.

– Sterling Schnepf, Granville, Iowa, junior at Iowa State University.

– Samuel Wildman, South Charleston, Ohio, junior at The Ohio State University.



This is the 23rd year of the CME scholarship program, which recognizes outstanding youth in the pork community. To be eligible, students must be undergraduates in a two-year swine program or a four-year college of agriculture, provide a brief letter describing their expected role in the pork industry, write an essay on an issue affecting the pork industry and submit two letters of reference from professors or industry professionals.



“These outstanding young people represent the future of the U.S. pork industry,” said outgoing NPPC President R.C. Hunt, a pork producer from Wilson, N.C. “They are the next generation of leaders, and NPPC and the CME Group are pleased to recognize their commitment to the pork industry with these scholarships.”
