Rebekah Sletten

Rebekah SlettenRebekah Sletten is a junior at Iowa State University studying agricultural business and international agriculture. Growing up on her family’s farm outside of Osage, Iowa, she was involved in both 4-H and FFA which helped her develop a strong passion for agriculture.

Rebekah has been an active participant in Start Something College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) since her freshman year, and now serves as a co-chair on the Start Something CALS Student Leadership Team. When Rebekah isn’t spending time in the Start Something CALS office, she can be found staying busy with several other organizations on campus, including serving as the CALS Council- CALS Week Quad Chair, the National Agri-Marketing Association CALS Council Representative, CALS Ambassador- Chair of High School Visits Committee, Agricultural Business Club Co-Chair of Travel Committee, and the Homecoming Chair and New Member Education Assistant for her sorority, Chi Omega.

During the past two summers, Rebekah has held internship positions at the USDA as a corn research intern (2016) and Dupont-Pioneer as a sales training and development intern (2017).

Even though Rebekah claims to be the highest scoring candy-eater in the Start Something CALS office, we are grateful to have such a dedicated student as part of our team. When we asked Rebekah why she decided to become involved with Start Something CALS, she responded, “I originally got involved with the program to learn more about entrepreneurship in the agricultural industry. Although I have not found my own ‘big idea’ yet, this program has provided me with skills and experiences that will apply to any career after college.”
