Kevin Kimle, teaching professor, Rastetter Chair of Agricultural Entrepreneurship and director of Start Something College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, was presented one of the inaugural Pioneering College Innovation awards April 21.
The award was presented at the start of the Feed the World keynote event, part of the week-long IGNITE Innovation Showcase hosted by the Student Innovation Center at Iowa State University.
“Kevin’s leadership in helping our students develop the much-needed skills, mindsets, and behaviors of entrepreneurs and change-makers has not gone unnoticed,” said Daniel J. Robison, holder of the endowed dean’s chair in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “We appreciate his years of hard work and dedication to growing a more robust entrepreneurial ecosystem within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and across the entire Iowa State University campus.”
