Help us congratulate Troy Ott on being named the dean of the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, effective July 1, 2024! “Dr. Ott’s deep connection to Penn State, gained through his tenure as an administrator, faculty member and former undergraduate student, has enabled him to develop a strong vision for the future of the College of Agricultural Sciences as the cornerstone of the University’s land-grant mission,” said Tracy Langkilde, interim executive vice president and provost. Ott succeeds Laszlo Kulcsar, professor of rural sociology and demography, who served as interim dean of the college for nine months, following the retirement of Rick Roush.  “To maintain our relevance, we will need to invest in our most impactful programs, while staying at the forefront of advanced and emerging technologies. The college must continue to match the pace of change in Pennsylvania, and indeed the world, if we are going to remain an innovation engine for the commonwealth.” -- Ott

I had the great pleasure of watching Senior VP Michael Wade Smith recognize ARL Director Allan Sonsteby’s 30 years at Penn State. Allan is responsible for about 1/3 of the externally-funded research at PSU and our very significant and impactful R&D contributions to national security and the Navy. Looking forward to his next 30 years of outstanding service. Penn State Research Penn State University The Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State University
