Faculty Fellows are faculty within the University of Nebraska system who contribute to the Institute’s research, scholarship, engagement and education programs. Faculty Fellow status gives formal recognition of an individual’s accomplishments and expertise and includes the Fellow in a community of faculty with complementary interests. The Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute currently engages with 127 Faculty Fellows.
The cutting-edge research DWFI’s Faculty Fellows and supported students conduct greatly enhances and expands the institute’s work at home and around the world. They have engaged in hundreds of research projects that improve water and food security, as well as public health and the environment.
