13th Annual Ag Classic
April 28-29, 2010
Ag Classic has become one of the greatest traditions within the College of Agriculture. It provides an informal setting for alumni and friends to return to Auburn for fun and fellowship. Our central mission remains strengthening support for the college while building lifelong relationships with friends and supporters.
In addition to the sporting events, Ag Classic includes a social hour, dinner and auction on Wednesday night, April 28, at the Alabama Farmers' Pavilion at Ag Heritage Park. Deadline for registration is April 23. Teams will be accepted on a first-come basis, with a waiting list started as each event fills.
With the exception of the Fishing Tournament, proceeds from the 2010 Ag Classic will support the newly established Richard L. Guthrie Award for Achievement in International Agriculture. The award honors Guthrie, the retiring College of Agriculture dean, for the pivotal role he has played in developing, leading and supporting an international program in the college. Over the course of his quarter-century as a faculty member and administrator in Auburn's College of Ag, Guthrie has traveled to 26 countries as a global ambassador for Auburn agriculture. He served as associate dean of international programs in the College of Agriculture for 15 of his 25 years at Auburn and for two decades was liaison between the college and China's Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences in an academic interchange agreement. Guthrie's commitment to establishing a strong international dimension to agriculture at Auburn has presented, and will continue to present, students and faculty in the College of Ag a world of opportunities to experience other cultures, broaden their worldviews, gain global perspectives and enrich their lives. The Guthrie Award will be presented annually to a faculty member who has demonstrated excellence in teaching, research, extension or outreach internationally.
