Kent Rorie joins Vice President's staff
Kent Rorie, former director of the Delta District for the Cooperative Extension Service, has been hired as assistant to Vice President for Agriculture Milo Shult. “There are few people who know our organization and the people we serve as well as Kent Rorie,” Shult said. “With his experience, he will be a valued addition to our administrative team here at the university systems office.” Rorie, 56, of Pine Bluff started his career with the extension service in 1979 as an agriculture agent in White County. He also served as an agent in Fulton County before being promoted to staff chairman in Prairie County in 1984. He also served as staff chairman in Jackson, Miller and Jefferson counties before being promoted to associate district director in 1997. Rorie was named Delta District director in 2001, where he served until his retirement in March 2007. He rejoined the extension service the following month as employment manager.
