Undergraduate Awards Banquet

April 23, 2019 by baluedeker

By: Beth Ann Luedeker

Congratulations to all the scholarship and awards recipients recognized at the awards banquet held April 11 at the Hildebrand Equine Center. While officially an undergraduate banquet, many graduate students received recognition and awards that night as well.

Dr. Kim Dooley, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Associate Dean for Academic Operations, delivered the keynote address. During her address Dooley outlined what she feels it means to be an Aggie.

Being an Aggie means being Authentic, being Grateful, setting Goals, having Integrity and having Enthusiasm, Dooley said.

Attendees also heard from student leaders about the array of extracurricular learning activities available, including the Agronomy Society, Turf Club, Soil and Water Conservation Society, and the Soil Crop Graduate Student Organization.
