Michelle 'Micky' Creech
Michelle "Micky" Creech (Agricultural and Biological Engineering): Thumbs Up to Michelle "Micky" Creech, program manager of the Purdue Student Soybean & Corn Innovation Competition, for pulling off an outstanding Student Soybean Product Innovation Contest on March 26. This is the 20th anniversary of the competition, and a record 15 teams of students completed projects. These teams of students from across the Purdue campus developed ideas for new products made from soybeans and competed for $30,000 in prize money. Micky recruits student teams, coordinates their participation in the competition and interacts with faculty advisors, all culminating in the Soybean & Corn Innovation reception and awards ceremony in Indianapolis at the Indiana Roof Ballroom and attended by a great group of College of Agriculture stakeholders. Her dedication and hard work made this a premier event for showcasing our Purdue students and their talent. -- Jay Akridge (College of Agriculture)
