On February 11, 2026, PACD Director of Communications & Education Shannon Wehinger traveled to Penn State’s main campus in University Park, PA. PACD was invited to host a conservation district booth at the Penn State Earth, Environment, and Sustainability Career Fair.
Shannon met with Penn State students interested in careers and internships related to science, the environment, agriculture, and conservation. A sign with a QR code to the PACD jobs webpage was prominently displayed.
The booth space was sponsored by the Center for Agricultural Conservation Assistance Training (CACAT), which allowed conservation districts to have a booth at no cost to PACD.
The Earth, Environment, and Sustainability Career Fair featured employers focused on environmental science, sustainability, conservation, geosciences, geography, meteorology, and agriculture. The event is a collaboration between the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, the College of Agricultural Sciences (Institute for Sustainable Agricultural, Food, and Environmental Science), Penn State Career Services, and Penn State Sustainability.
