STILLWATER, Okla. — More than 80 agricultural education, communications, and leadership students were recognized for their academic achievements, leadership abilities, and campus involvement throughout the fall and spring semesters. The Department of Agricultural Education, Communications and Leadership awarded students with more than $150,000 in scholarships.
“Donors give to scholarship programs because they believe in the department, students, and faculty,” said Rob Terry, AECL department head. “I think the gift of hard-earned contributions from our donors is one of the best endorsements we can receive as a department. These funds allow us to build the program to be even better in the future and attract top-notch students, then reward them for their hard work and success.”
