Codie Wolfe, a student at Austin High School, has received a Norman Borlaug Science Achievement Award from the University of Minnesota’s College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS).

The award recognizes Wolfe’s academic achievement in the sciences. As part of the award, Wolfe received the book “Ten Plants that Changed Minnesota,” written by Mary Hockenberry Meyer and Susan Davis Price. This book highlights the importance of the selected plants and their impact — both positive and negative — in the development and future of Minnesota.

The award was presented by CFANS Alum Joel Reiman of Austin. The award is sponsored by the CFANS Alumni Society, a member organization dedicated to connecting alumni and friends to the college; supporting excellence in the educational experience; building college pride, spirit, and community; and enhancing the reputation of the college.
