From the Dean
This issue of Purdue Agriculture InFocus is devoted entirely to celebrating all our award winners in the College of Agriculture throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.
This issue features select national, international, university, and college awards. The second issue, which you’ll see soon, will contain all the awards from our units and departments.Congratulations to all of our award and recognition recipients at all levels, and thanks to all of those who supported our winners in the classroom, put together award nominations, or were involved in the recognition process in some way. We work hard to make sure everything is included in these issues, but if we missed any award winners, please let us know!This has been another highly unusual academic year, but my thanks go to all who have stepped up to make the best of this situation. Thanks very much for all you do to make Purdue Agriculture great. Have a great summer!
All the best,
