Jules Janick ’51 was one of five outstanding College of Agriculture and Life Sciences alumni honored November 5, 2010, at a reception and dinner at the Statler Hotel.
Janick, who has been at Purdue University since 1951, is widely regarded as one of the world’s most highly respected and best known horticulturists. He has led a distinguished career and continues to teach undergraduates, edit publications in horticulture and plant breeding, and participate in research on fruit breeding and horticultural history and iconography.
Among numerous honors, in 2009 Janick was inducted into the American Society for Horticultural Science Hall of Fame—the society’s highest honor.
