At the SAES Awards Banquet, students who have met the academic and public service requirement for membership in the Gamma Sigma Delta, Kappa Omicron Nu, Phi Kappa Phi and Sigma Lambda Alpha honor societies will be recognized, as will SAES student athletes.

A&T’s chapter of Gamma Sigma Delta, the national honor society of agriculture, will be honoring undergraduates with the highest GPAs in their classes; those who were inducted into Gamma Sigma Delta at the chapter’s induction ceremony in April; and the students who submitted entries for the Showcase of Excellence research poster competition during Small Farms Week. Gamma Sigma Delta’s annual awards to faculty members for excellence in teaching, research and Extension will also be presented at the Awards Banquet.

The faculty members, which A&T’s Center for Student Success named SAES teacher and advisor of the year — Drs. Millie Worku and Valerie J. McMillan, respectively — also will be honored at the Awards Banquet. Another banquet honoree will be Dr. Mohamed Ahmedna, an SAES food scientist, who shared the Division of Research  & Economic Development Senior Researcher Award with a member of the Chemistry Department.

Dr. Alton Thompson, the SAES dean, has two awards to present that will be kept secret until the Awards Banquet:  the 2006-07 SPA or non-teaching EPA employee of the year, and the annual collaboration award that goes to a team of SAES faculty and staff who pulled together to pull off an extraordinary accomplishment.
