Many faculty are experts in fields connected to agriculture, including biotechnology, remote sensing,&nbsp;economics&nbsp;and management.<br /><br />In addition, the 免费福利资源在线看片 is a leading-edge learning environment for aspiring agriculturalists. An increasing number of graduate students are in agriculture-related disciplines while the Agricultural Studies program enables undergraduates to learn about the physical and economic interrelationships between agricultural production, marketing, trade&nbsp;and&nbsp;nutrient management, water, grazing and rangeland and riparian management.</p><p>Indeed, the 免费福利资源在线看片&rsquo;s reputation for excellence in agricultural research and education is what led Cor Van Raay, a leading Canadian cattle producer, to make a major gift to the 免费福利资源在线看片. Last June, the founder of Cor Van Raay Farms donated a total of $5 million to the 免费福利资源在线看片&nbsp;of Lethbridge and Lethbridge College to<br /> establish the Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program.</p><p>Through this initiative, a joint program offered by the 免费福利资源在线看片 and the College will be created, focusing on agriculture-related educational opportunities in economics, business development, entrepreneurship, finance, management, commodities trading and leadership, all with an emphasis on agricultural innovation.

This position, announced in July, will be supported by a $1-million investment over five years from the Potato Growers of Alberta, McCain Foods, ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston and Cavendish Farms.</p><p>The Chair in potato science will expand research in the province&rsquo;s potato industry, which is worth more than $1 billion annually. It is anticipated that the chairholder will collaborate with producers and industry partners, create additional learning opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students and help develop new potato varieties.</p><p>Together, the Cor Van Raay Southern Alberta Agribusiness Program and the Research Chair in Potato Science are expected to stimulate agricultural research and agribusiness at the U of L&rsquo;s new Centre for Agricultural Research and Agribusiness Innovation (CARAI). Centre researchers will study pest and disease mechanisms, develop&nbsp;surveillance and detection mechanisms, and explore the use of remote sensing to produce data-driven agriculture.</p><p>The CARAI will prepare the agribusiness leaders of the future. Students will have access to fellowships and co-op placements, and will benefit from industrial research partnerships with producers and processors. In the end, graduates will be primed to develop solutions that will meet the demands of a growing global population.</p><p>&ldquo;Collectively,&rdquo; concludes Letts, &ldquo;all of these initiatives will strengthen our position as a leader in agricultural education and research.&rdquo;</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-op-related-nref field-type-node-reference field-label-above block-title-body"> <h2><span>Related Content</span></h2> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"><article about="/unews/video/shining-new-light-potato-research" typeof="rnews:VideoObject schema:VideoObject" class="node node-openpublish-video node-published node-not-promoted node-not-sticky author-trevorkenney odd clearfix" id="node-openpublish-video-9973"> <div class="content clearfix"> <div class="field field-name-field-op-video-embed field-type-video-embed-field field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/video/shining-new-light-potato-research"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/unews/sites/default/files/styles/right-sidebar-thumbnails/public/video_embed_field_thumbnails/youtube/gQ6SjqIlEqc.jpg" width="116" height="80" alt="" /></a></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Shining New Light on Potato Research" class="rdf-meta"></span> <h3 property="rnews:name schema:name" datatype="" class="node-title"><a href="/unews/video/shining-new-light-potato-research" title="Shining New Light on Potato Research">Shining New Light on Potato Research</a></h3> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-company-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Company:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/company/cor-van-raay-farms" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Cor Van Raay Farms</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/company/cor-van-raay" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Cor Van Raay</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/lethbridge-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lethbridge College</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/lethbridge-college" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lethbridge College</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/van-raay" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Van Raay</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/matthew-letts" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Matthew Letts</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-technology-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Technology:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/technology/remote-sensing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">remote sensing</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/technology/biotechnology" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">biotechnology</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Field of Opportunity" class="rdf-meta"></span> Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:06:12 +0000 david.kirby 6747 at /unews Susie Kennedy brings her passion for IT and people to her new role as registrar /unews/article/susie-kennedy-brings-her-passion-it-and-people-her-new-role-registrar <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>Decades ago, maintaining student university records was strictly a pen-and-paper task.</p><p>Technology put an end to all that, eventually ushering in a new era where students and alumni access their records online and prospective students get acquainted with the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge&rsquo;s digital campus before they even set foot on the grounds.</p><p>&ldquo;Systems has become an integral part of the registrar&rsquo;s role now,&rdquo;

Olsen and Baker then embarked on their two year missions for the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints. This past fall, both returned to the Kodiaks program and did not miss a beat, finishing one-two in team scoring.<br> <br> Both Olsen and Baker have also excelled in the classroom, with each being named CCAA Academic All-Canadians this past season.<br> <br> Olsen, a 6'1" guard from Cardston, Alta., finished fifth in South Division scoring averaging just over 19 points per game and was named an ACAC first team all-star, while shooting 49.6% from the field and over 47% from behind the arc. He also added 6 rebounds per game and 2.39 assists.<br> <br> Prior to joining the Kodiaks, Olsen starred for the Cardston Cougars and was named the Southern Alberta High School Basketball League MVP in his final season (2008-09).<br> <br> "Rob is an incredible talent and an outstanding young man," says Hansen. "I believe Rob is the best player to come out of Cardston since his uncle and former high school coach Ken McMurray. Ken was an all-Canadian for the Horns and I'm confident that Rob will have the same success with us."<br> <br> Hansen adds that Olsen is also very accomplished off the court and represents the ideal of the Canada West student-athlete.<br> <br> "Rob represents everything we look for in a recruit, he was not only an all-star, but a CCAA Academic All-Canadian. He is a character kid and will be a great ambassador for the 免费福利资源在线看片 of Lethbridge."<br> <br> A Raymond, Alta., product, Jared Baker was named an ACAC second-team all-star this past season and averaged 15 points per game for the Kodiaks, while adding just under 6 rebounds and 3.13 assists per contest.<br> <br> In high school, Baker was a two sport athlete, winning provincial titles for the Raymond Comets in both football (2008) and Basketball (2009). He led the Southern Alberta High School Basketball League in scoring in grade 11 with 24.1 points per game and was named league MVP in 2007-08.<br> <br> "I'm very excited to be coaching Jared again," says Hansen. "He is such an incredible competitor and is willing to do whatever is needed for a team to be successful.<br> <br> "He has evolved from being a shooter to an all-around player. Jared has a high basketball IQ and the success he's experienced playing for Todd Heggie's Raymond teams shows in the way he carries himself. His CCAA Academic All-Canadian also demonstrates that Jared expects excellence for himself."<br> <br> The men's basketball team will look to round out its 2013-14 recruiting class in the coming
