The awards were presented at a December 3 reception at the University House.
Dr. Hardin received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees with the late Charles Stutte as her major professor. She held faculty positions at the University of Oklahoma and University of Central Oklahoma before moving to Little Rock in the late 1980s with her husband, Tom, and two sons. Dr. Hardin took an adjunct faculty position to teach human biology at Hendrix and was promoted to chair of the natural science area and then her present position.
Howe has a B.S. degree in Agribusiness and an M.S. in weed science under Dr. Dick Oliver. He began his career as a sales representative with the Agricultural Products division of Dupont, working out of Little Rock. After Dupont acquired Pioneer, Howe moved up to his present position.
Howe serves on the board of the Arkansas Crop Protection Association and is secretary of the Arkansas State Plant Board. He and his wife, Dawn, also an alumna of the department with B.S. and M.S. degrees, have a son and daughter.
