Cutting-edge research and excellent creative teaching methods are the norm here, and our students and producers are benefitting from that.”
One of those awards—the ASAS Distinguished Teacher Award—went to Bob Coleman, PhD, extension equine professor. Coleman has been at UK since 1998. He teaches and advises students in the equine science and management program and is the advisor for the UK Equestrian Team. The award, sponsored by Purina Animal Nutrition LLC/Land O’ Lakes Inc., recognizes a dedicated individual’s teaching accomplishments in animal sciences courses. ASAS said Coleman is genuinely invested in his students and shows interest in student motivation, mastery of subject matter, teaching improvement, extracurricular student activities, and service to the agricultural industry.
Aimee Nielsen is an agricultural communications specialist in UK’s College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
