“At some point, you may get tired of me telling you that it was a \u201crecord year\u201d for <\/span>the College<\/span>. <\/span>I\u2019m<\/span> sorry to <\/span>keep <\/span>repeat<\/span>ing<\/span> myself, but it just keeps happening \u2013 you all are just doing too good a job,” joked Dean Indrajeet Chaubey at the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources’<\/a> (CAHNR) annual awards and honors celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Members of the CAHNR community came together March 27, 2024 to recognize the contributions of distinguished alumni, faculty, students, staff, and supporters. As Dean Chaubey’s remarks underscored, the College again broke records in research success with $41.5 million in new awards. The College also saw growth in academic success and community engagement through UConn Extension programming.<\/p>\n

“Our faculty and students are tackling challenges that cross departments, cross species, and cross boundaries,” says Chaubey. “<\/span>I want to congratulate everyone involved in the College\u2019s success \u2013 faculty, staff, students, and partners \u2013 for this tremendous, collaborative accomplishment.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is co-hosted with the College Alumni Board (UCAHNRA) and the CAHNR Excellence Committee, and it provides an opportunity for current students, faculty, and staff to connect with alumni and dedicated volunteers. Award recipients are recognized for their contributions to the university’s tripartite mission areas, as well as CAHNR\u2019s strategic vision and values in areas such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, and embracing UConn\u2019s land grant mission.<\/p>\n

UConn Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Anne D’Alleva, joined the event.
