The University of Kentucky has announced four candidates who will vie for the College of Agriculture Dean position. All four will visit the Lexington campus in the upcoming weeks to interview and visit with faculty, staff and students. They are all qualified to lead the College of Agriculture. We looked at a substantial number of candidates and I believe we have chosen the four most impressive ones.
Agriculture is a vibrant part of the economy and culture of Kentucky.
We need to capitalize on our strengths and make the most of our top two resources people and abundant resources. I want to help grow our people, our communities, and our economy. Coston said he is intrigued by the challenges of working with faculty, students and staff and realizes the importance of that in Kentucky, since Ky. agriculture is in such transition. Student enrollment will grow, research programs will flourish and Extension efforts will increase. The funding base will expand and the College will be recognized both within the University and externally for the excellence of its programs and it will be viewed by the citizens of Kentucky as vital to their future.
