October has been a special time on campus with celebrating, reflecting and connecting. This month, we had the privilege of honoring the outstanding individuals and traditions that make OSU Agriculture so strong.
On Oct. 3, we gathered for OSU Ag Honors to celebrate our 2025 Distinguished Alumni and Champions for OSU Agriculture. This group’s dedication to excellence and service continues to elevate OSU Agriculture and inspire the next generation of leaders. I encourage you to visit OSU Ag Honors online and learn more about this year’s honorees.
We also welcomed hundreds of alumni, families and friends back to campus for the OSU Ag Tailgate on Oct. 11 and the Ferguson College of Agriculture Homecoming Celebration on Oct. 17, and we had thousands of fans join us to support our rodeo team at the annual Cowboy Stampede on Oct. 2-4. These events are opportunities to reconnect, share stories and celebrate the Cowboy spirit that unites us all. They also allow us to promote OSU Agriculture initiatives that are helping to serve Oklahoma and impact the world. Please watch the video below to learn more about these initiatives, focusing on the Agronomy Discovery Center, the Beef Center of Excellence and advancing value-added agriculture.
Christy and I have enjoyed seeing so many familiar faces and meeting new ones alike during our recent events. Thank you for being a part of our OSU Agriculture journey.
