- Billye Foster, an associate professor in the CALS Department of Agricultural Education, is being honored with the H.O.Sargent Diversity Award for a Nonmember from FFA for supporting activities that promote diversity within agricultural education and FFA. She is the only national winner of this award.
The award will be presented at the National FFA Convention, October 27, 2005 in Louisville, Kentucky. The Monsanto Company sponsors the honor as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
Foster's Desert Roses Newsletter (cals.arizona.edu/desert_roses/) is internationally recognized as a voice for all women in agriculture. In her current role as Assistant to the Dean for Diversity, she coordinates all diversity activities for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
"Dr. Foster is without doubt the leading expert in the nation on diversity issues within colleges of agriculture," says Jack Elliot, head, Department of Agricultural Education.
