Natalie Carroll was presented with the 2018 Frederick L. Hovde Award of Excellence, which honors a faculty or staff member who has displayed outstanding educational service to rural Indiana.

"Rural communities are the foundation of our state, and service to those communities is the foundation of Purdue," said Karen Plaut, chair of the Hovde Award committee and Glenn W. Sample Dean of Purdue Agriculture.

Carroll was recognized for her more than two decades of work with Indiana youth through 4-H and FFA. She has been instrumental in developing 4-H curricula across ten project areas related to natural resources, including entomology, forestry and geology.
