Agustín Olivo, a graduate student in mechanized systems management and Fulbright Scholar from Argentina, was honored with a Student Luminary Award for his exceptional leadership and commitment to improving campus life.
The awards, which are presented annually to eight undergraduate and two graduate students, were announced during a campus reception March 13. Those selected demonstrate a significant and active commitment to inclusion, are advocates for positive change, initiate activities that help every Husker feel valued, strive for personal well-being and model academic excellence inside and outside the classroom.
Agustín serves as president of the Biological Systems Engineering Graduate Student Association. Agustín brought the association back after many years of inactivity and implemented a mentorship program within the organization for new students. He also serves on the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Student Advisory Board and ASUN Graduate Student Assembly and was the only graduate student chosen to present at the fall 2019 CASNR all-hands meeting.
