OSU Tabs Dr. Clint Rusk of South Dakota State as New Animal Science Department Head The Dean and Vice President of the Division of Agriculture for Oklahoma State University, Dr. Bob Whitson, has announced that a new Department Head for the crucial Animal Science Department at OSU has been selected. Dr. Clint Rusk of South Dakota State University will be heading south this summer to take over the reins from Ron Kensinger, who headed east in the latter days of 2011 to a post at the Ohio State University.


Dean Whitson's email was short and to the point- "I am pleased to announce that Dr. Clint Rusk has accepted the position of Department Head for Animal Science pending Board of Regents approval. Dr. Rusk will be joining us this summer by August 1st. We had the opportunity to meet four excellent finalists for the position and I appreciate the tremendous work of of the search and screening committee chaired by Dr. Mike Woods. I also want to thank Dr. Gerald Horn who has served in the important Interim capacity."


Dr. Rusk currently serves as the Dean of the Animal Science Department at South Dakota State University. A glimpse into his vision for an Animal Science program can be seen in his greetings for that department found on their website- "we strive to be a student centered research department. Graduates of our department move on to successful careers in the animal industry, meat industry, academia, veterinary medicine and other agriculture related businesses. We have successfully trained outstanding students in the animal and meat sciences."


Dr Rusk's specialty areas are in Beef Cattle and Livestock Judging. His undergraduate degree came from Kansas State University, with advanced degrees from Colorado State.
