The event was graced by distinguished NDSU officials, including Greg Lardy, Vice President for Agricultural Affairs; Carrie Hammer, Interim Associate Dean; Frank Casey, Associate Director of the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station; and Lynette Flage, Associate Director of NDSU Extension.

This year's ceremony was notable for the introduction of the Celebrate, Integrate and Embrace the Power of Diversity Award, expanding the total number of accolades to 11. An impressive pool of 45 nominations was submitted for these awards.

In a significant development, the ceremony also featured the inaugural NDSU Agricultural Affairs Core Value Awards. Recipients of the faculty and staff awards were also honored with this award, which emphasizes the core values of integrity, impact, and innovation. This peer-to-peer recognition initiative aims to celebrate achievements across teaching, research, and Extension.
