State can provide a good education and a jump start on a career Add 37 years experience world-wid- e traveling and national recognition and you get Morris Whitaker Whitaker an alumnus of Utah State is being honored by the Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) for his international work in agricultural economics Whitaker will be included in the llCA’s book “60 in 60” which honors him and 59 other influential people from North and South America who have significantly contributed to the progression of agriculture in the past 60 years Whitaker was surprised when he received the nomination and because of his current assignment as president of the Mexico City East Inter-Americ- an Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da-y Saints he was unable to attend the recognition ceremony in Washington DC He was nominated by colleagues at Utah State and said it was special for him to be recognized by his peers One of those peers Chris Fawson director of International Programs and viceprovost for the university said that Whitaker’s efforts have contributed greatly to the economic growth of many countries “Dr Whitaker understood die important role of agriculture in overall economic growth ami development” said Fawson “He understood the necessity of having more efficient and productive agriculture in order to achieve faster sustained economic growth in developing coun- tries" Much of Whitaker's time was spent in Ecuador Brazil and Bolivia He has more than 23 years of consulting experience in countries with large organizations like the IICA and the Agency for International Development He also wrote and coauthored seven books on Latin American agriculture one of them a best seller in Ecuador His work has been internationally recognized fay scholars in his field “As I travel the world I invariably meet prominent individuals who knew Morris by reputation or who worked with him and respected his commitment to the poor and disenfranchised of the developing world” said Fawson Although Whitaker has traveled the world filling administrative positions his home base is in Logan Serving as director of Utah State’s Office of International Programs for 16 years he obtained many research and technical assistance projects for the university due to his experience as a consultant on the economic policy of water resource management One of his major projects over the lari three decades has been the development of economic policies that lead to and sustain private sector use of national and regional water resources “Whoever Dr Whitaker worked he always put Utah State’s interests first” said Kermit Hall president of Utah State “In fact his entire career was spent promoting the university He was instrumental in raising the international visibility of Utah State” According to Whitaker Utah State is an internationally respected institution and has a strong reputation in international development among global funding agencies He said that whatever he accomplished was through the efforts of otho Utah State professors working as a team “Without Utah State there would be no recognition”' said Whitaker “USU provided die environment that helped me to grow and develop In essence the award is for a true team effort over many years involving many people and reflects as much on Utah State and my colleagues as it does on me” Whitaker received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from USU by 1966 and he received his doctorate in agricultural economics from Purdue University in 1970 He returned to USU and taught microeconomic theory international agricultural development and environmental policy economics from 1970-7- 8 Whitaker said he is grateful for the many friends and colleagues he met during his time here whose vision dedication and hard work made this recognition possible CninwiltyAbuNPrMnlionSatvtoMAoancy St Patrick's Day Fundraiser ggPciEnato O HllLCREST NEIGHBORHOOD GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
