Alan has recently learned that he is the recipient of one of the highest honors available to faculty at Auburn University – The Gerald and Emily Leischuck Endowed Presidential Awards for Excellence in Teaching – which recognizes faculty who are effective teachers, advisors, and mentors. The College of Agriculture recently advertised the award, too. Cash was able to join me for a fancy lunch with Dr. Leischuck, AU President Chris Roberts, AU Provost Vini Nathan, and past recipients of the award. Fun event!
