By Jessica McBride, PhD April 21, 2022 Every year the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources and the College Alumni Board (UCAHNRA) recognize the accomplishments of distinguished alumni, faculty, staff and supporters. The event returned to an in-person format on April 13, 2022 after being cancelled in 2020 and held virtually in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. CAHNR Dean and Director Indrajeet Chaubey shared gratitude on behalf of the College for the contribution made by the year’s award recipients. “This year like every year, there is a lot to celebrate at CAHNR. Faculty and staff continued to provide our students with transformational education that allows them to thrive and find fulfilling careers post-graduation. Our world-class researchers continued to push the boundaries of scientific discovery and advance knowledge in their fields. Our extension outreach continued to connect our communities with the programs, people, and resources they need in a variety of areas. And our alumni not only achieved amazing things, they also continued to give back to their alma mater, offering their time and expertise to students, their home departments, and CAHNR leadership. Thank you all for your steadfast support of CAHNR and our mission to serve and educate all. You are the foundation of our College, and with your support I know that CAHNR’s future is bright.”
