Alumni Spotlight: Dr. Dean Kospell |
|
|
|
Dr. Dean Kopsell recently celebrated his one year anniversary since joining CAES as Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs. Many may not know this, but Dr. Kopell is an #AgDawg himself. “I did my undergrad at a non-land-grant university that didn’t have any graduate school options for me, but there was one faculty member in my department who had connections to UGA and encouraged me to apply. I was on campus from 1993 to 1999 getting my master’s degree and doctorate in horticulture — it was a really great time to be in Athens,” Kopsell said. “The atmosphere in Athens was unmatched and the school, professors and horticulture department were excellent.”
