July 12, 2004 Hauck named to 2-year term as director NDSU Extension Service July 12 — Duane Hauck, a veteran North Dakota State University Extension Service employee, has been appointed to a two-year term as Extension Service director by NDSU President Joseph A. Chapman. Hauck has been serving as interim director since January 1 after Sharon Anderson stepped down from the post. “The North Dakota Extension Service is one of NDSU’s most important links to our state’s agricultural community,” said Chapman. “Duane has the statewide experience and leadership abilities we need in this important position. A great land-grant university requires a great Extension Service.” Hauck has both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in mechanized agriculture from NDSU. He has held several posts in the Extension Service, starting in 1976 when he was named Assistant Extension Agent for Stutsman and Ward Counties. His administrative positions have included serving as a district director and assistant director for agriculture and natural resources. Hauck grew up on a diversified grain and livestock farm near Richardton, N. D. “My family was very active in 4-H, especially in the livestock and natural resource areas,” he said. “Our local extension agent was a great role model, especially during the early part of my career.” The appointment brings to a close a national search for an Extension Service director. The search was cancelled after Patricia Jensen, NDSU’s vice president and dean of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources, announced last Friday that she will retire Dec. 31. Chapman said appointing Hauck to a two-year term will give Jensen’s replacement the opportunity to participate in the search for the Extension head. Search committee chair George Wallman thanked the members of the search committee for their efforts. “Every member of the search committee deserves to be recognized for the professionalism they displayed as the search was conducted,” he said. “I truly appreciate their time and efforts.” The North Dakota State University Extension Service exists to serve the people of North Dakota. The Cooperative Extension System was established in 1914 to address through education critical needs of the public in the areas of agriculture, family and youth. ### Editor: David Wahlberg, (701) 231-8325 |
