Dear faculty and staff,

Join me in congratulating Dr. Chris Daubert, as he was recently named vice chancellor and dean of the University of Missouri’s College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) effective August 1, 2017.

Chris has demonstrated outstanding leadership as a faculty member, a department head and in helping make the North Carolina Food Processing and Manufacturing Initiative a reality. There is no question that the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences and CALS are better because of his tenure and leadership.

Daubert joined NC State in 1996 and became the department head in 2010. During that time, he directed a renowned food engineering research program that developed leaders for the food industry, established the bioprocessing science degree program, served as the first associate director of the Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC), and helped lead the NC State Dairy Enterprise System and Dairy Farm Research and Teaching Field Unit.

I am excited for Chris, and I know he will do well in this new role.

Best wishes, Chris.

Richard Linton,
Dean
