New Faculty, 2015-2016
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, I am pleased to introduce our new faculty members. They are extremely talented individuals who excel in their fields of interest and will help us remain at the forefront of academics, research, and extension.
Their specialties focus on some of the world’s most critical issues and target strategic areas for growth in the college. Positions were identified to bring new talent to our focus areas, such as agricultural productivity, environmental sustainability, the green industry, and food, nutrition, and health.
The addition of these faculty members reflects the college’s mission of growing tenure and tenure-track positions in the coming years. As you meet them individually and learn more about their accomplishments and goals, I’m sure you will agree that they are an impressive addition to the college.
Please join me in welcoming these outstanding individuals to the college and the Virginia Tech community.
Sincerely,
Alan Grant, dean
New Faculty Advice
A selection of junior faculty were asked questions about coming to Virginia Tech and getting settled in the area. We hope this helps you get a head start on getting to know the area and your department.
