Two students from the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences won major awards this spring, from both the university and the college:

• Breyana Robinson, an animal sciences major, received the Chancellor's Award for Academic Excellence, the university’s highest honor bestowed on a student. A graduating senior, she is a two-time recipient of the Astronaut Scholarship and is the only female Aggie to be a repeat winner of that national award.
• Jordan King, a junior agriculture and environmental systems major, received the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Outstanding Honors Award. A student senator, she is also a president of N.C. A&T’s chapter of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS).
