Jesse Buxton has been an integral part of our statewide Extension team for more than 20 years. In a surprise meeting earlier this month with Jesse, the university announced that he is the recipient of a 2025 Distinguished Staff Award.
Jesse, thank you for all you do for our statewide team. From supporting our counties on everything fiscal related, to helping Extension leadership with budgets and data to update and educate our stakeholders, plus fielding countless questions from employees in every part of our organization—your daily contributions benefit and impact all of our 800+ faculty and staff across the state. Congratulations on this much deserved recognition, Jesse.Â
