2025 Seniors of Distinction
Top 20 Seniors
Each year, the Ferguson College of Agriculture recognizes students for their involvement
and contributions to the college as well as academic excellence during their college
experience. Students are recognized for their commitment to academics, research, leadership
and service.
The Louis and Betty Gardner Outstanding Senior Award is the highest award given to
a senior in the Ferguson College of Agriculture. The Outstanding Senior receives a
bronze sculpture and a scholarship. In addition, the Outstanding Senior represents
the Ferguson College of Agriculture by wearing an orange cap and gown as the college
gonfalon carrier at commencement. This award is supported by an endowment established
by Brent and Kent Gardner, both previous recipients of the award, in honor of their
parents, Louis and Betty.
