Sivakoff recognized with Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching

I am honored to be a recipient of the 2024 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching. Thank you to my amazing colleagues, collaborators, students, and family for helping me every step of the way. You can read more about my award here. As part of this award, I was thrilled to be invited onto the field at an OSU football game in front of 100,000 people.

Successful field season

With the widespread availability of vaccines and low COVID case numbers, we were lucky enough to have an almost normal field season. I’m happy to report that, as it wraps up, the field season has been very successful. Here we are at the Wilds after a long day in the field.
