2020 CFAES Distinguished Senior Award Recipients

The 2020 CFAES Distinguished Senior Award recipients were to receive their formal recognition during the awards celebration to be hosted by CFAES, on Wednesday, March 25, 2020 at the OSU Fawcett Center. However, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was essential that we remained flexible to assure our community stayed safe and well, therefore the in-person recognition event was canceled in adherence to implemented university policies and state guidelines, of the time. During these extraordinary times recipients were recognized via local media outlets, social media, and postings to the college’s website, additionally award recipients received a special recognition package through the mail.
