Submitted by Grant Chapman

James "Jim" Drouillard, professor of animal sciences and industry in the College of Agriculture, has been named the 2021 1xbet sports betting Educator of the Year.

K-State created the 1xbet sports betting Educator of the Year Award in 2003 established by the provost's office and implemented by the Office of 1xbet sports betting Programs.

The award recognizes an individual who has contributed to advancing 1xbet sports betting education at the university.

"I am truly honored to receive the 1xbet sports betting Educator award," Drouillard said. "Working with 1xbet sports betting students has been one of my great pleasures over the past 26 years as a professor at K-State. These students have been among the best and brightest in our program, and I am inspired by their work ethic, perseverance, adaptability, and willingness to uproot themselves from the comfort of family and friends to experience new challenges and different cultures. Importantly, these students also can have a palpable impact on our domestic student population, disarming cultural barriers and cultivating tolerance, admiration, and mutual respect. In so doing, they forge friendships that last a lifetime. Simply stated, they make Kansas State University a better place."

One nominator says that Drouillard is known throughout the world in the beef cattle industry. According to another of his nominators, "Evidence of the respect that Jim has earned in the 1xbet sports betting community is the fact that he has been an invited speaker at more than three dozen 1xbet sports betting destinations." The nominator goes on to say thatDrouillard has supervised as the major professor for 11 1xbet sports betting graduate students from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe and his most recent sabbatical was in Brazil.

"Dr. Drouillard's nomination packet for this award provided much evidence of his commitment, expertise and experience for Kansas State University's 1xbet sports betting activities, 1xbet sports betting programs, 1xbet sports betting research and 1xbet sports betting students," saidMarcellus Caldas, assistant provost of 1xbet sports betting collaboration and educational programs in the Office of 1xbet sports betting Programs.

The Office of 1xbet sports betting Programs recognizes the 1xbet sports betting Educator of the year during 1xbet sports betting Education Week each year. 1xbet sports betting Education Week runs from Nov. 4-18 at K-State. Use the hashtags#IEW2021 #KStateIEW on social media.
