Ag Prof Cultivates Dual Role

Dr. Paul Wilson's research and work in agribusiness, agriculture, environmental management and global hunger crosses public- and private-sector lines while spanning national borders, reaching into the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Mexico. But some of his most important impact occurs on a much smaller scale, working one-on-one with students in the UA College of Agriculture and Lifes Science since 1982, not only as a professor, but as an advisor, role model and friend. His passionate commitment to advancing both understanding and education in his field stands as a role model in a student-centered research university, earning him one of this year's prestigious University Distinguished Professor awards.
