We want to highlight all of our award winners from this year’s ACES Alumni Awards Gala in the coming weeks, starting with this year’s Family Spirit Award recipients:
The Dameron Family
Across three generations, the Dameron family has built a lasting connection to the University of Illinois and the livestock industry. With deep roots in Animal Sciences, their involvement spans decades of student support, leadership, and engagement with the College of ACES. From hosting livestock judging teams to mentoring students and supporting departmental initiatives, their contributions have strengthened programs and opportunities for future Illini.
Through continued service in agriculture and national industry leadership, the Dameron name reflects a strong commitment to both the university and the broader agricultural community.
Congratulations to the Dameron family, truly deserving of the Family Spirit Award!
