Plant Pathology Professor Emeritus, Anne Vidaver...
shares her thoughts on Doctor of Plant Health students... "As a founding faculty of the DPH program, I believe ever more strongly that this program is needed in multiple areas in the public and private sector. This need is because specialists focus on less and less, with employers frustrated with lack of general knowledge by current and prospective employees.

"The thing I enjoy most about working with our DPH students is the opportunity to interact with them as they integrate their knowledge across horticultural and agricultural science Plants are complex and one size does not fit all!

Dr. Chuck Francis (Agronomy & Horticulture) on what he enjoys about...
... working/advising Doctor of Plant Health students: "It is both challenging and rewarding to work with the DPH students because of their obvious talent, broad perspective on agricultural systems, and motivation to make practical contributions to future food supply. They have been active participants in the agroecology class, bringing in a wide appreciation of how to identify and solve pest and nutrient problems in crops, and a willingness to share their expertise with others. This is a landmark program that is preparing graduates very well to face a complex and uncertain future in agriculture, especially in seeking out the most environmentally safe solutions to pests and soil nutrition challenges."
