Fred A. Cholick, dean of the College of Agriculture and director of Kansas State University Research and Extension, has been named a fellow in the American Society of Agronomy.
Designation as a fellow is the highest recognition awarded by the Society, and less than one half of one percent of the Society's active or emeritus members may be elected annually, says Gerry Posler, professor of agronomy (crops teaching) at Kansas State University, who nominated Cholick for the award.
Nominees for the award, which will be presented Nov. 7, 2007, in New Orleans, La., typically will have made outstanding contributions in their area of specialization, which includes research, teaching, Extension, service or administration in the public, private or commercial sector, Posler says.
As an agronomist, Cholick's career has focused on the application of soil and plant sciences in managing soil and crop production, Posler says.
Cholick grew up on a farm in Oregon and earned a bachelor's of science degree in agronomy at Oregon State University, a master's degree in agronomy at Colorado State University, and Ph.D. in agronomy and plant breeding, also at Colorado State University.
Prior to accepting his dual role at K-State (2004), Cholick's career efforts were centered at South Dakota State University (SDSU). There, he advanced from his first position as an associate professor and project leader, spring wheat breeding and genetics (in the Plant Science Department) to full professor, department head of the Plant Science Department, and then director of the Experiment Station. He was named Dean of the College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences in 1998. . . . (read more)
