What are your job duties/job responsibilities in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources? I am an assistant professor in the Division of Animal Sciences. My current appointment is 45% research, 45% teaching and 10% service. In other words, I teach several 4000/7000-level courses, advise students, and participate on committees while also conducting fundamental research designed to understand how to better meet the nutrient requirements of ruminants.   How long have you worked in CAFNR? I joined CAFNR in August of 2018. What do you enjoy about working for CAFNR/Mizzou? I grew up around agriculture…

Message from Dojin Ryu

It has been a busy year for the Division of Food, Nutrition and Exercise Sciences (FNES)! I have just completed my first full year as director. I am pleased with progress we are making in our mission areas of teaching, research and extension. I share with you here a few highlights! FNES welcomed 126 new undergraduates in August; a 25% increase from last year! Total combined opening day enrollment in our two majors, Food Science & Nutrition and Nutrition & Exercise Physiology (NEP), was 426. Also in August, we welcomed a “new,” full-time academic advisor, Tammy Conrad.
