Leigh worked for the Napa County Resource Conservation District as their Executive Director and recently obtained a positon in Napa County’s Executive Office as a Management Analyst.

Tyler Knapp, EEP 2014
After graduating from Oregon State, Tyler completed an M.S. in Agricultural Economics (University of Arkansas) and an International Masters in Rural Development (University of Ghent, Belgium). He is currently employed as a Program Associate in Economic Development with the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.
Tyler has many positive memories from Oregon State. Notably, he says that "it strikes me that the amount of support that students received from the department, faculty and staff during my time at OSU was unusual in its abundance. This combined with the rigor of the program left me well prepared to find success after graduation."
