Two College of Agricultural Sciences faculty members have been named as 2024 Nutrien Scholars of Agricultural Sciences. The annual awa<\/span>rd honors the work of outstanding faculty members as a way to advance their teaching and research in alignment with the college\u2019s strategic plan, which is <\/span>generously supported by Nutrien<\/span><\/a>. Jessica P<\/span>renni, an agricultural chemist and Professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and Dana Hoag, an agricultural economist and Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics make up the fifth class of Nutrien Scholars.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Established in 2020, the Nutrien Distinguished Scholars Program honors the work of rising faculty in the College of Agricultural Sciences to support them in furthering their teaching and research.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Prenni\u2019s work on the Periodic Table of Food will have a global impact on how people evaluate and describe nutrients in food, which will lead to improvements in human health,\u201d said Amy Charkwoski, Associate Dean for Research. \u201cDr. Hoag has made many contributions to the economics of diverse topics, from agrivoltaics to wolf introductions into Colorado. We are so pleased to have them at CSU.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Nutrien\u2019s generous support and intellectual partnership, the College of Agricultural Sciences continues to mobilize around and invest in <\/span>eight strategic focus areas of leadership and impact<\/span><\/a> \u2013 regionally, nationally and globally \u2013 elevating CSU as a leader in developing a diverse, highly skilled agricultural workforce and boosting Nutrien\u2019s ability to deliver industry-leading products.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
