Teacher of the Year

Each year, one exceptional professor or instructor within the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences is presented with the Teacher of the Year Award. Clubs from the college each have the opportunity to nominate a professor that they feel has exceeded the duties of a typical teacher. Ag-Bio Prexy Council representatives review the nominations and narrow the selection to the top three nominees, which are voted on by the student body.

The following individuals are dedicated to excellence and provide unwavering support for their students:
