This event featured honor roll students accepting their honor cords and certificates from the dean and associate deans. A chance for the students to celebrate their hard work, dedication, and accomplishments with senior leadership and their families marked it a very special occasion. We are beyond proud of the brilliant minds and resilience we seek to nurture so that it may blossom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped

nearly a daily occurrence to see Associate Dean Deringer balancing a drink, a few notebooks and pens, and a laptop on her way to her millionth meeting of the day with a huge smile on her face and a

Her ability to balance so many objects without a sliver of fear seems a good metaphor for her skill at balancing many responsibilities with grace. Whether it&#8217;s taking one for the team by high-fiving Butch so hard it hurt her wrist, or agreeing to do another TikTok video featuring her genuine smile that could light up a whole college, Nancy Deringer always shows up for CAHNRS and for WSU. Enthusiasm unmatched, Associate Dean Deringer is always going above and beyond to make everyone feel heard and seen. There isn&#8217;t anyone better equipped with great ideas, a healthy dose of &#8220;it&#8217;ll-be-easy&#8221; optimism, and a world of wisdom accumulated from ample experience to lead the Student Success and Academic Programs office.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-dropshadow--medium wsu-color-background--white wsu-card--style-horizontal-50\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-4-3\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/Image-7-768x1024-1.jpeg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/Image-7-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/Image-7-768x1024-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Nancy Deringer leans towards Emily Libey as Emily wins the Student Worker of the Year award, exemplifying their genuine bond and incredible mentorship.\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title  wsu-font-size--large\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Associate Dean for <\/strong>Student Success and Academic Programs\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-card__content-custom\">\r\n\t\t\t\n\n<p>Having mentored many of the student workers and employees in the CAHNRS office, she is a shining example of how the right kind of support can make a college feel like a home away from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of January 1, 2026, Nancy Deringer is now officially Associate Dean of Student Success and Academic Programs, a role which she has excelled at for several years as an interim.

His contributions have included being part of AI in agriculture, the Washington Food Policy Forum, the Washington Soil Health Initiative, the AgSymbiosis Project, and much more. In addition to his contributions to CAHNRS, he also exemplifies incredible resilience in the face of hardships like droughts and fires on his farm, which he has innovatively built into a sustainable and climate-friendly system. An absolute joy to know, we celebrate Chad Kruger in his new role, wish him the best of luck with his farm, and thank him for everything he accomplishes to better the university.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-container  wsu-position--relative\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/research.wsu.edu\/news\/wsus-office-of-research-welcomes-experienced-leaders-to-advance-strategy-and-partnerships\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button \">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tWSU\u2019s Office of Research Welcomes Experienced Leaders to Advance Strategy and Partnerships\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:25%;width:27px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-decorator--style-block-crimson-light wsu-zindex--level-7\" style=\"top:0;right:0;height:27px;width:20%\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-block-gray-wsu\" style=\"top:30px;left:0;height:55px;width:165px\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wsu-decorator  wsu-zindex--level-7 wsu-decorator--style-lines-crimson\" style=\"top:0;right:20px;height:55px;width:200px\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-overlap wsu-overlap-spotlight wsu-spacing-after--xxlarge wsu-max-width--hero wsu-overlap-spotlight--style-right-middle\">\r\n    <div class=\"wsu-overlap__container\">\r\n        <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column wsu-overlap--overlap-xxmedium\">\r\n            <div class=\"wsu-overlap__column-inner\">\r\n                <div class=\"wsu-overlap-spotlight__image  wsu-image--style-framed\">\r\n                    <div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-3-4\">\r\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field-760x1024.jpg\"\r\n                        srcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field-760x1024.jpg 760w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field-768x1035.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field-1139x1536.jpg 1139w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/cahnrs\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2026\/01\/CEK-field.jpg 1405w\"\r\n                        sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\"\r\n                        alt=\"Chad Kruger holds important papers, sporting his Kruger Cattle LLC shirt and matching hat.
