Each fall, the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Alumni Society Board hosts the CFAES Alumni Awards recognizing a distinguished few of our more than 46,000 living alumni. Their contributions and achievements in their chosen fields are creating a lasting impact locally and globally.  

This year, we celebrate five individuals for their extraordinary successes and service. With backgrounds and careers spanning landscape policy and governance, Ohio cooperative communities, sustainability, Extension Education, and food safety, this year’s honorees not only exemplify how alumni sustain life but also what it means to be a Buckeye for life. 

Join us on Friday, October 9 to celebrate these exceptional alumni.

Registration for this event will open in July of 2026.
