Karl
E. Gardner Outstanding Undergraduate Adviser Award
Thomas W. Fermanian has been an outstanding friend of students in turfgrass and horticulture by helping them to refine their career options. His philosophy for career counseling includes helping those who might be more science-oriented to prepare for graduate studies and assisting industry-bound students to identify their primary and backup areas of specialization. He has been able to provide many opportunities for the growth of students interested in turfgrass management, including summer internships, excellent job placements, and campus research experiences. Fermanian has also been an outstanding adviser to undergraduate students in other areas of horticulture. As the co-adviser of the Horticulture Club for the past two years, he helped provide direction and leadership and saw the club achieve national recognition when it was voted the number one club in the United States by its parent society, the American Society for Horticultural Science. Fermanian has displayed the same level of intensity, enthusiasm, and energy as the person for whom the award is named—Dean Karl E. Gardner. |
