Martin and Carole Redfern Establish New Agribusiness Scholarship
The Martin and Carole Redfern Scholarship in Agribusiness has been established by gifts totaling $20,000 from the couple, who were members of the faculty and staff, respectively, of the department of agricultural economics and agribusiness.
Professor Redfern joined the faculty in 1968 and retired in November 2007. He taught and conducted research in resource economics, economic development and the economics of food safety. He coordinated student internships for a number of years and received an Outstanding Mentor award.
Carole Redfern retired as a clinical audiologist in 1995 and was a recruiter in the department of agricultural economics and agribusiness from 2000 to November 2007. Her job included helping to review scholarship applications, and she developed a great awareness of the need for scholarships. “We are happy to provide a small part of the scholarship picture,” she said.
