The 19th annual “A Celebration of Excellence” Awards Ceremony was held in the Cook Campus Center, honoring the extraordinary accomplishments of our faculty, staff and students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.

The ceremony provided an opportunity to acknowledge the important work of the school, the experiment station, Rutgers Cooperative Extension, and this year’s class of George H. Cook Scholars.

While mingling afterwards, the attendees were warmed by the pleasant sounds of jazz guitar at the reception that followed.

Here are this year's honorees:
