K-State College of Agriculture alumni and faculty awards nominations now open
The Kansas State University College of Agriculture is now accepting nominations for its 2025 alumni and faculty awards to recognize exceptional individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, commitment and distinction in their profession, community and the College of Agriculture. These awards honor living alumni and faculty who embody the college's tradition of excellence.
Nominations are open through March 14. Self-nominations are welcome. The award categories include:

- Outstanding Young Alumnus Award: Honors alumni younger than 45 who have excelled in their careers, contributed to their communities and demonstrated a commitment to humanitarian service. As with the Distinguished Alumnus Award, service to the university is considered but not mandatory.
- David Mugler Outstanding Teaching Award: Established to honor the late David Mugler, this award recognizes a faculty member in the College of Agriculture who demonstrates exceptional dedication and care for students inside and outside the classroom.
