CORVALLIS, ORE.—”(Dr.) Alec Kowalewski, Oregon State University’s new turf specialist, jokes that two requirements for the job were to have a Polish-sounding last name and to be a graduate of Michigan State University. That’s because he replaces fellow MSU alumnus Rob Golembiewski, who left in March to work for Bayer Environmental Science after coming to OSU in 2008,” notes an article by the Oregon State University Extension Service.

Kowalewski joins Oregon State University as a turf specialist after serving as an assistant professor of turf management at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga. To read the entire article, visit http://bit.ly/OSU_AgNews1096.
