During the events, students are challenged to develop critical thinking skills, foster teamwork and promote communication while recognizing the value of ethical competition and individual achievement.<\/p>\n<p>Kenzie Matarozzo, an alumna of the Colorado FFA Plateau Valley chapter, was one of the many CSU students volunteering their time to facilitate the day\u2019s events. She is studying equine science and agricultural education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFFA has a large part of my heart,\u201d said Matarozzo, who served as the emcee for the horse judging contests at the B.W. Pickett Arena. \u201cI actually competed in this exact contest when I was in high school, so it\u2019s special to me.
