Hunter Ethan Corbett of the Lowndes County FFA Chapter in Valdosta, Ga., has an SAE comprised of five research projects conducted over five years. He used the scientific method to solve environmental problems by proving a waste agricultural product known as cotton gin trash could have completely cleaned up the 2015 BP Oil Spill. Corbett plans to use these research skills and experiences to earn a medical degree in noninvasive cardiology at Emory University in Atlanta. He is supported by his parents, Tracy and James, and his FFA advisors, James Corbett, Michael Barnes and Quinton Hadsock. This award is sponsored by the National FFA Foundation and National FFA Organization.
