Tatumn Kennedy of Meeker, Colorado, was recently named the Oklahoma State University Ferguson College of Agriculture 2026 Louis and Betty Gardner Outstanding Senior, the highest honor given to a senior in the Ferguson College.
Kennedy, who will earn a bachelor’s degree in biosystems engineering with a minor in ethical leadership, has focused on integrating servant leadership with technical service to support individuals and communities that rely on resilient water systems.
A highlight of her time at OSU came while serving on the Ferguson College Student Council, where Kennedy helped plan major events such as Homecoming and Ferguson College Week. But her most fulfilling role on the council is advocating for students who have not yet found their voice.
