SIPS leadership is pleased to welcome Shelby Champlain in her new role as Graduate Field Coordinator in the School of Integrative Plant Science.  Shelby brings significant past experience to the role, having previously worked as Graduate Field Assistant in Africana Studies and prior to that, as a building manager on west campus and in management position at the Statler Hotel.

In her new position Shelby will work directly with the Fields of Plant Breeding and of Soil & Crop Sciences, and in close coordination with our other student services staff. Shelby’s office is in 231 Emerson. We are so grateful to Josh Balles and Karin Jantz for their coverage of these two graduate fields following Alicia Caswell’s departure last spring. Please join me in thanking them both and welcoming Shelby to our staff team!
