Mentor Recognition Programs
Current Mentor Recognition Funds
Robert Cassens, Ph.D.
A fundraising drive for establishing a mentor recognition in the name of Robert Cassens was started in September 2013.
The funds raised from the mentor recognition will be used to support the efforts of PhD-level graduate students in completing and communicating their research and establishing professional networks that will sustain their meat science careers. The mentor recognition is being coordinated by a committee led by Gene Allen, Donald Beerman & Cameron Faustman.
If you would like to help recognize Dr. Cassens by contributing to the mentor recognition, please make a donation online.
