Dr. Rebecca Swenson received the NACTA Educator Award from the North American Colleges & Teachers of Agriculture organization, which recognizes individuals whose efforts represent the very best in agricultural higher education across the country. In the nomination materials, ACM alumni Shannon Werstein who currently works at CLUTCH agency, wrote, "Dr. Swenson was instrumental in shaping my college experience and direction of my post-grad life. In her career explorations class, I gained valuable first-hand experience about working at an agency or corporation. She was able to connect me with professionals from General Mills and Hormel whom I was able to shadow for a day. In addition to her class, I appreciate how she works to stay connected with students post-grad. I recognize that those relationships are why alums keep coming back to speak to classes and become mentors." Congratulations, Dr. Swenson! Rebecca (Bolin) Swenson
