Congratulations to Chris Oseto who has been awarded a 2008 regional USDA Food and Agriculture Sciences Excellence in Teaching Award.

“The National Awards Program for Excellence in College and University Teaching in the Food and Agricultural Sciences recognizes faculty who promote effective and innovative pedagogy evidenced by successive years of sustained, meritorious and exceptional teaching. The Awards Program is offered annually to honor excellence in teaching, a key element in developing expertise. The Awards Program recognizes and honors a select group of college and university teachers who excel at teaching, make a positive impact on student learning, and influence other teachers by example. It is designed to focus national attention on the teaching role--one which is fundamental to the development of the scientific and professional expertise essential to the future growth and progress of our nation's food and agricultural system.”
