The Southern Agricultural Economics Association (SAEA) awarded Nathan Hendricks, assistant professor in K-State’s Department of Agricultural Economics, the Emerging Scholar award for 2015.
The award is granted to high-performing, early-career professionals who have had their terminal degree for less than seven years. The department’s faculty nominated Hendricks and he was selected based on his qualifications, presentation proposal and curriculum vitae sent in with his nomination.
Winners are invited to give an empirical or conceptual presentation in a symposia session at the SAEA annual meeting, which was Feb. 1-4 in Atlanta. Presentations address issues on the frontier of knowledge in either research, extension or instruction. Winners are then recognized at the SAEA business meeting, which is in conjunction with the annual meeting, and receive a $250 honorarium.
