Alumni Association honors Erf and Johnson

The Arkansas Alumni Association presented Distinguished Achievement Awards to two Bumpers College faculty members at its annual awards ceremony Oct. 13 at the Janelle Y. Hembree Alumni House.

Awards for research and teaching and for service and teaching, respectively, were presented to Professor Gisela Erf, Poultry Science, and Professor Donald Johnson, Agricultural and Extension Education.

Erf, a native of Germany, has degrees in Animal Science and Poultry Reproductive Physiology from the University of Guelph and a Ph.D. degree in Immunology from Cornell. She teaches graduate and undergraduate courses and conducts the leading U.S. research program in poultry immunology, with a focus on cell-mediated immunology, immunopathology and autoimmune disease. Her experiential teaching methods include a mock-professional immunology symposium staged by her students.

Johnson, a native of Kentucky, has a B.S.A. degree from Western Kentucky University and a Ph.D. degree from the University of Missouri in Agricultural Education. His courses range from fundamentals of agricultural systems technology to interpreting social data in agriculture. His research on agricultural education is widely published and often relates directly to experiential learning principles that he uses in class.
