Dr. Donald McDowell, SAES associate dean for Academic Programs, was one of 10 economists honored for contributions to the Committee on the Opportunities and Status of Blacks in Agricultural Economics (COSBAE) at the 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Association of Agricultural Economics (AAEA) in Providence, RI, in late July. McDowell and the other COSBAE honorees were cited for creating new professional development opportunities for young economists, recognition for accomplishments in the field, and for heightening cultural sensitivity in the AAEA.
One of the AAEA’s main objectives is to serve as a forum for scholarship and breaking news in agricultural economics, and the organization’s Web site does a great job of living up to this commitment. The AAEA newsletter, “The Exchange, is online at http://www.aaea.org/fund/pubs/newsletter/, and the bi-monthly publication provides comprehensive coverage of professional development opportunities, research publications, and what’s unfolding at colleges and universities. The Web site has a breaking news section at http://www.aaea.org/info/news/ that puts an international eye on agricultural news and global economics.
