Dennis DeVries and Rex Dunham, both professors in the College of Agriculture’s School of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Aquatic Sciences, are among the Auburn University faculty members campuswide who have received prestigious honors as part of Auburn’s 2018 Faculty Awards program.
DeVries is the recipient of a 2018 Alumni Professor award, which is presented each year to five tenured faculty who have direct responsibilities in at least two of the university’s missions of instruction, research and outreach.

The professorships are nonrenewable and carry an annual stipend of $3,500.
Dunham, who also serves as his school’s associate dean for research, is the Distinguished Graduate Faculty Lectureship award winner, recognized on the basis of his significant contributions to graduate education at Auburn and to his field.
