As part of the Faculty of Agriculture's ring tradition, the Alumni Association allows for an honourary ring to be presented annually during the Barley Party. 

Honourary rings are awarded to individuals who do not meet the criteria to be eligible for a Barley Rng but who are extremely deserving of the honour. These individuals are ambassadors and supporters of the institution. They have made outstanding contributions to the Agricultural Campus community and truly depict the characteristics of an AC alumnus.

The term devotion to campus would be an understatement when describing Dr. Derek Anderson who has been advancing the institution, research, student success and the industry for nearly 30 years.  Along with his devotion to campus, his knowledge of institutional history is profound.

It’s no wonder
