As most everyone knows by now, I will be stepping down as dean of the College later this year. Throughout this summer and fall, there have been dozens of enjoyable opportunities to talk with alumni and friends about my time as dean. Many great stories have been shared about the history of the College and the exceptional people that created that history.

Among the abundant reasons to be proud of your College is our tradition of a strong alumni organization. We have been fortunate to have some outstanding staff to lead and build upon that tradition, but nothing would have been possible for them without the remarkable volunteer commitment of our dedicated alumni leaders.

During my term, we all faced the delicate challenge of merging the HES and Ag alumni structures. That success was, in my judgment, a remarkable example of organiza-tional engineering, made possible by deeply committed and forward-looking leaders.

As any period of time comes to an end, the tendency is to think and talk about the past. Certainly, our College alumni have a rich tradition of excellence to celebrate. But during my many farewell speeches and last visits as dean I have also asked that together we commit to sustaining those traditions and that excellence in the future. I am confident we will.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the dean of your College.

Scott Smith

Dean Scott Smith Says Farewell to Alumni

After 35 years of service to the University of Kentucky and the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Dean Scott Smith will soon step aside and begin his path toward retirement.

Since his appointment in January 2001, Dean Smith has seen tremendous growth in the College. The undergraduate popula-tion has nearly doubled in size with just over 2,600 students enrolled in the College this fall. Though he faced many chal-lenges during his tenure, including multiple budget cuts, his commitment to students has never wavered.

In an effort to thank the Dean for his leadership and service, we are seeking to establish an endowment that will assist stu-dent participation in co-curricular activities such as conferences, competitions and study abroad programs. The College has long been known for offering students opportunities though more than 30 clubs and organizations, as well as academic and leadership conferences. Such programs can be costly for students and they are not usually covered by any scholarship awards.

The Smith Family Fund for Academic Enhancement will assist students who participate in these activities for generations to come. We ask that you join us in thanking the Dean for his service to the College through a contribution to this endowment. Together we are creating a resource that enables students to participate in our college’s notable co-curricular activities, which distinguishes our graduates as they pursue careers and continued education.

Our initial goal is to reach $250,000 in gifts and pledges. To make a contribution to the Fund, please mail your check to Col-lege of Agriculture, Food and Environment, Office for Advancement, E. S. Good Barn, 1451 University Drive, Lexington, KY 40546-0097. (Please include Smith Family Fund in the memo line.)

If you should have further questions about the fund or how to make a gift, please call our office at 859-257-7200.

A University of Kentucky professor who works to make Kentucky’s rural economies stronger was recently named the chair of the Department of Retailing and Tourism Management in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.

Vanessa Jackson joined the department, formerly Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles, in 1998 after serving a brief time as a lecturer at South Carolina State University. While at UK, her research, teaching and extension efforts have focused on rural retail development. She’s developed teaching models and curriculum that allow extension agents, UK students and small business owners to work together to benefit the local economies of Kentucky’s small towns.

In addition to her work with rural communities, Jackson has served as the department’s director of undergraduate studies since 2009.

“I am pleased that Vanessa Jackson stepped forward to accept this important position,” said Scott Smith, dean of the college. “She was one of the leaders in the reorganization of her new department, and she helped to develop a plan and a vision that will make it an increasingly valuable part of our College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.” As chair, Jackson hopes to help the department’s faculty and students to continue to strive for excellence.

“One of my goals is to nurture the faculty to achieve their goals and the goals of the department, so they in turn can give the students the skills they need to be successful in their future endeavors,” she said.

A Louisiana native, Jackson received her bachelor’s degree from Southern University and A&M College. She received her master’s and doctorate degrees from Michigan State University. Jackson replaces Kwaku Addo, who served as interim department chair for three

years. By Katie Pratt

An extension professor, who helps ensure Kentucky food entrepreneurs put their best safest product forward, was recently

named chair of the University of Kentucky Department of Dietetics and Human Nutrition.

Sandra Bastin, who’s also a certified culinary educator and registered dietitian, has been an extension food and nutrition specialist

in the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment since 1996. She has served as interim chair of the department since

September 2011.

“Sandra has long been a leader in our nutrition and foods extension programs,” said Scott smith, dean of the college. “Over the

last couple of years we have also come to rely on her leadership in the academic mission.”

Bastin has received numerous awards throughout her career, most recently earning the Outstanding Dietetic Educator of the Yea

award by the Kentucky Dietetic Association. She also currently serves on the Kentucky Board of Licensure and Certification for

Dietitians and Nutritionists and recently completed a two-year term on the Nutrition and Health Committee for Planning and

Guidance, part of the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. The institute is an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

As chair, Bastin hopes to build upon the strengths of the faculty to create a first-class, research-based program that not only

attracts quality undergraduate and graduate students, but also betters the health of Kentuckians by providing them with sound nutritional information.

“I am very excited that our faculty members has recently been awarded competitive grant funding from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, USDA NIFA

and the National Institutes of Health,” she said.” Besides the contribution to improving society’s health, they are also integrating their research into the

classroom.”

While interim chair, Bastin and faculty members created the FIRST Initiative for the department to expand upon its core values to create a more student-oriented

atmosphere. FIRST stands for focus, innovation, respect, success and teamwork.

Bastin and department faculty are working on increasing leadership and best practice learning opportunities for students. They are also integrating an array of

innovative teaching strategies to make classes more engaging for students, such as hiring theatre majors to act as patients in a counseling course and allowing

students to gain real-world experience through food preparation service, food sustainability, and leadership in a quantity food preparation course, affectionately

know as Lemon Tree, after the department’s on-campus restaurant.

“My vision for the department is to be first in excellence in research, teaching and outreach activities, including our extension programming and delivery,” Bastin

said. By Carl Nathe, Katie Pratt
