Bioresource engineering prof cited for research excellence and role as mentor for women entering the field
Bioresource Engineering professor Michael Ngadi has spent his career trying to help solve some of the world鈥檚 most pervasive food problems. Recently, Ngadi and his research team traveled to remote communities in Bolivia, Laos, Zambia, Malawi and Ethiopia to examine elements of the local diets, assess their nutritional status, and build programs that would introduce nutrient-dense foods into local cuisines.

OpEd by Dr Alice Cherestes, Director, Freshman Program
Students talk about the course as OChem or Orgo, otherwise known as Organic Chemistry, one of the most dreaded courses for any student doing a university science degree. The course, taken mostly in the early stage of a student鈥檚 undergraduate degree, requires that material taught during the first week of class be understood and applied many weeks later when students do the final exam.聽聽
