w Agricultural Marketing Professorship

A new professorship in agricultural marketing based in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics has been approved by the University System Board of Regents. CAES’s Dean Angle stated, “We created the agricultural marketing professorship to recognize faculty with outstanding scholarship and achievements in this vital field and are extremely pleased that the Board of Regents saw fit to approve this much-needed position. I am currently pulling together a search committee from the college to find the absolute best person to fill this opening.” Eligibility for the professorship is limited to tenure track faculty holding the rank of full professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics whose accomplishments are related to agricultural marketing in research, teaching and/or extension. It is anticipated that the new professorship will also provide faculty with additional resources for the continuation of their professional development and success during their tenure in the department.
