AUBURN, Ala. - Fifty years after enrolling at Auburn, Dick Ingwersen returned to Jordan-Hare Stadium for Homecoming to receive the Walter Gilbert Award.
“It’s great. It was pretty much a surprise to me. I was just thrilled and humbled,” Ingwersen said. “I looked at the list of the past recipients, and it’s just unbelievable. I recognize that this is one of the highest honors a former Auburn athlete can receive.”
The Walter Gilbert Award is given annually to former Auburn athletes who have distinguished themselves through achievements after graduation from Auburn.
