Message from the Dean<\/h1>\n

<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A<\/span>s I reflect on my first year<\/strong> as the 16th<\/sup> Dean of the College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences, one word comes to mind: legacy. The CAHNRS legacy is one of leadership in both academics and industry. It is a legacy born of hard work and a commitment to the highest standards in teaching, scientific research, innovation, and Extension.<\/p>\n

Every day, CAHNRS faculty, students, and alumni tackle the toughest challenges we face in agriculture, the human sciences, and beyond. Whether it is breeding plants to increase nutrition or pioneering technologies to increase global food security, CAHNRS is at the forefront of some of the most important research advancements of our time. It is this legacy of innovation, excellence, and leadership that brought me to WSU and to CAHNRS.<\/p>\n

In this issue of ReConnect, you\u2019ll read the stories of CAHNRS Cougs who are applying their invincible Cougar spirit to make the world around them a better place. In ways both large and small, they are giving of their time, their talents, and their resources. They embody the CAHNRS legacy and remind us of the importance of giving back.<\/p>\n

I hope that as you read their stories you will feel a sense of pride in belonging to such an incredible CAHNRS family. The CAHNRS legacy is our legacy. It is a charge to lead, to make our communities stronger, happier, healthier. It is a legacy that unites us, near and far, and reminds us that we are Forever Cougs.<\/p>\n
