The Faculty Impact Statements are used by the Agricultural Experiment Station and the College in preparing reports to the USDA and the University on the research and teaching accomplishments of our faculty. Additionally, the Impact Statements are also used in the annual reports published by the Division of Agriculture and the College, for press releases and for other promotional literature.
Faculty are asked to submit impact statements to department heads, who will forward them as a group from each department.
