Dr. Rolando Flores will be the next Dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences

Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to announce that Dr. Rolando Flores will be the next Dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences. Dr. Flores is internationally recognized for his work in food science technology, agricultural engineering, and grain science. Moreover, he has been involved in many international initiatives and has a strong record of accomplishment as an administrator at a land grant university. I believe that under his guidance and leadership, the research, education, and service programs of the college will be strengthened. Please join me in warmly welcoming him to NMSU. Also, I want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Jim Libbin for his good work as interim dean, which will continue until Dr. Flores takes over on August 1. Dr. Libbin has been a great asset to the university and I look forward to his continued contributions to NMSU. All the very best, Dan Howard
