Hannah Burrack, a professor in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology, was recently appointed the Director of Education and Outreach for the North Carolina Plant Sciences Initiative (N.C. PSI).

She is well-known for her Extension and research work focused on managing the insects that plague tobacco, berries and other specialty crops. She also teaches a course on writing grant and fellowship applications for graduate students in the biological sciences. She was highly involved in shaping N.C. PSI as a chair for the Plant Improvement Platform Sub Task Force and as a member of the Research and Technology Task Force.

As Director of Education and Outreach, she will help develop and integrate the academic and Extension components of N.C. PSI projects and programs with the overall N.C. PSI goals and objectives. She will also assist the yet-to-be-hired Executive Director in managing relationships with N.C. PSI’s many stakeholder groups.

We talked with Burrack to learn more about her new position, and her favorite Howling Cow Ice Cream flavor.
