Lots to think about
Thanks to the CAHNRS personnel who took the time to meet with me and the leadership team. I enjoyed the conversations. I do not often get to interact with support personnel from around the state, so that was special.

We are winding down the road show. I hope everyone found it worthy of their time to participate. I enjoyed the networking events; they were a great way to see local supporters and partners.
I hope everyone cheered loudly for Holly Henning, who was recognized on the field during Saturday’s homecoming game as a featured WSU faculty member for her contributions to the university. Congratulations, Holly! Congratulations to Laura Griner Hill, Louise Parker, Brittany Cooper, Elizabeth Weybright, Jennifer Duckworth, and Gitanjali Shrestha, recipients of the 2023 WSU Teams that […]
During the AgForestry Leadership reception last week, we were asked to share our favorite thing about fall. I don’t recall anyone mentioning Halloween, but a few people mentioned football. For my brother, it’s both.
Measuring and communicating impact is a theme of this year’s Extension conference, which continues through Thursday. There’s a need for impact assessment and incorporation into our storytelling across the CAHNRS missions of teaching, research, and Extension.
Saturday’s game made for a fun time. Thanks so much to our commodity group partners for putting on the Homegrown Taste of Washington event at the Vogel Building!
Dean Powers spent the day with chairs and director, sharing conversations units have had about building a resilient Washington.
The latter half of August felt a bit slow. That’s over. Meetings have picked up. Travel, too, is going strong.
Last week, the Pullman campus had a visitor from Sen. Murray’s office. Katie Clements is a new staffer in the senator’s office. A native of Boise, Idaho, Katie had not visited CAHNRS or the College of Veterinary Medicine yet. Thanks to faculty, chairs, and staff, including coordination by the government relations team, we were able to show Katie a good mix of agriculture and natural resource research.
Last week was a reminder of what’s really important. We lost one of our longtime, loyal CAHNRS employees. Those who knew and worked with Larry Helweg witnessed his commitment to the Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC) in Prosser, Wash. Larry took great pride in his work, and it made a difference for those around him. Larry will be missed by many.
