Mentor Recognition Program
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) mentor recognition program gives members a unique avenue to recognize the professional mentors or colleagues who have influenced their careers. The program allows such members to make a contribution designated for special activities in the name of the honored person.
Robert Merkel
A fundraising drive for establishing a mentorship in the name of Robert Bray was started in November, 2007. Dr. Merkel is a former director of AMSA and posted a long record of distinguished research and teaching accomplishments during his tenure at Kansas State University and Michigan State University.
The funds raised from the mentorship recognition will be used to fund programs of AMSA. The mentorship is being coordinated by Elton Aberle (eda@cals.wisc.edu).
The fundraising goal for this mentorship is $15,000. If you would like to help recognize Dr. Merkel by contributing to the mentorship, make a donation online or contact AMSA Executive Director Thomas Powell (tpowell@meatscience.org) for more information.
