Today we’re saying farewell, thank you, congratulations and best wishes to Dr. Oluwatuyi Olowoyeye, who is leaving Iowa State to begin his next adventure as a postdoctoral scholar at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Vernon. He will do amazing things there, as he has done here. The first graduate student on the RegenPGC project, he helped set the tone for collaboration and outreach. As a member of the FFAR Fellows Program: Future Leaders for Food & Agriculture, he sought mentoring, mentored others, and charted a path towards impact in this field and beyond. He’s published two papers, one more in review, and one more in the late stages of manuscript. He’s written a successful grant that allowed him to augment his funded research with a related project of his own design. He’s been a leader on campus through our ABE Grad Organization and Tau Beta Pi Iowa Alpha, and nationally with the ASABE – American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers Young Professionals Community. I don’t know how he did it all! It’s been a pleasure and an honor to be part of his journey.
