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 2021-2022 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.
We recently learned that Dr. Clint Chapple, Distinguished Professor of Biochemistry, was elected into the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), which is one of the highest honors a scientist can received. In fact, only two other Purdue faculty are active members of the NAS. We are elated Dr. Chapple has been recognized for his distinguished and continuing achievements in research.
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!Thanks very much for all you do to make Purdue Agriculture great. Have a great summer!
All the best,
