[Plsfaculty] Assistant Professor of Practice in Horticulture

[Kenneth Feldmann]

The School has had many discussions with CALS and Libby about how her
position might change as she moves toward retirement. In the end, it was
decided by CALS that we would recruit someone who is 25% Extension
(Arboretum Director) and 75% Instruction. The Search Committee (Dennis Ray,
Ursula Schuch, Barry Pryor, Chieri Kubota and myself as chair) has selected
4 excellent candidates to interview. 
 
The first is Dr. Amy McFarland who will be interviewing this Friday. She
will give a talk at 11:00 am in 307 Forbes.
We will then skip a week and our last 3 candidates will be in to interview
on 24, 26 and 28 May. Two of the candidates are PhDs from TAMU and Purdue
and two are MS from Cornell and Tucson. 
 
We will be hosting a one hour slot for faculty to interview each candidate.
Amy McFarland's one hour slot is scheduled for 3:30-4:30 in 307 Forbes on
Friday. I would very much appreciate any input that you might be able to
give the committee. The candidates are here for just one day and we will be
making a decision soon after the last candidate has interviewed. 
 
We are looking at a number of existing courses that the new faculty member
might teach and developing new course(s) in arboriculture and/or
floriculture. The successful candidate will also be responsible for student
advising and, most importantly, for growing the undergraduate major.
