Academic leader
Purdue Agriculture welcomed home alumnus Dale
Whittaker, who has taken over the post of associate
dean and director of academic
programs. Whittaker replaced Karl Brandt, who returned
to a teaching post in the Department
of Biochemistry.
Whittaker came to Purdue from Texas A&M University,
where he was associate department head and professor of agricultural
engineering. Whittaker received his bachelor's degree in
agricultural engineering at Texas A&M and earned both his
master's and doctoral degrees in agricultural
engineering at Purdue.
"Purdue already has a great agriculture program,
and I would like to see more students take advantage of what
the school has to offer," Whittaker says. "I will also continue
to mesh the academic vision of the School
of Agriculture with the needs of the state of Indiana.
I believe in business and government partnerships that improve
school resources and the quality of the learning experience
for students." |
