Mr. Darin DeNeal and the Carrier Mills-Stonefort High School FFA had a wonderful opportunity on October 3. Mr. DeNeal and the FFA traveled to SIU-Carbondale to listen to Dr. Temple Grandin. Dr. Grandin is a well known behavior scientist and autism self-advocate. She earned a degree in psychology from Franklin College, a master's degree in animal science from Arizona State University, and she earned a doctorate in animal science from the University of Illinois. Dr. Grandin is a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, an author, she is the subject of an Emmy Award-winning film called Temple Grandin, and in 2010 she was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. The CMSF FFA students that attended the event were (pictured above left to right): Bryer Reynolds, Sierra Scott, Jeremy Choat, Kitana Rees, Cydney Maxfield, DC Stout, Colton Rice, Rielly Ward, Kyle Bristow, Hunter Denney, Laura Talandis, Dakota Sandlin, Myla Wise, Malaki Metcalf, and Mr. DeNeal.
