Molly Jahn, dean of the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at UW-Madison, was on hand at the Jan. 10 meeting of the board of the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). Her task was to discuss agricultural issues and the future direction of CALS.
DATCP Secretary Rod Nilsestuen introduced the new dean to the board, noting “she brings a lot of scientific muscle to the job.”Although she’s only been at her job for the past five and one-half months, Jahn’s made it a priority to get out in the state and has shown up at most UW campuses across the state.
