Ag dean finalist to visit campus Andrew Novakovic, chair of the department of agricultural, resource and managerial economics at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., has been named a finalist in the search for Iowa State's next dean of Agriculture and will visit campus June 19-20. He has served as department chair at Cornell since 1993.
All degrees are in agricultural economics.
He has an internationally known extension program in dairy policy and international marketing. Novakovic is the first finalist to be invited to campus since the search for a dean of Agriculture was extended in January, said Provost Rollin Richmond. Other candidates also may be invited to campus, he added. Six finalists had interviewed for the dean of Agriculture post before the search was extended.
