We are pleased to announce that Turner Lear, a senior at Oregon State (double major in animal & agricultural science), is our $2,000 scholarship winner for 2023. He will be working on his master’s degree in the fall.

And, due to a generous donation from the Schlechter Family (in memory of CDA member Sandra Schlechter), we were also able to select a winner for a $1,000 scholarship. Randy Gilland, who is a sophomore at Oregon State (majoring in Political Science) is the recipient.
