Jon M. Wraith, Dean, College of Life Sciences and Agriculture, and Director, New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station, has been named as a 2012 Fellow in the Food Systems Leadership Institute (FSLI).

Dedicated to developing individual and institutional leadership for a twenty-first century food system, FSLI is a program of the Association of Public Land-grant Universities with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.

FSLI is part of a 20-year-long partnership between the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to recognize the extraordinary efforts of a select group of educators, researchers, and Extension specialists.

With these awards, NIFA and APLU not only honor recipients who have given of themselves and made outstanding contributions to the improvement of their communities, they also recognize the foresight of establishing an educational, Extension, and research system that encourages the best of all its participants and partners.
