Inventory Inventory Subcommittee Mark Rasmussen, Leopold Center, Animal Science Steven Bradbury, Natural Resource Ecology and Management Robert Dodds, Extension and Outreach Gail Nonnecke, Horticulture, Global Resource Systems Kan Wang, Agronomy Inventory Inventory Subcommittee Role: Compile an inventory of existing CALS efforts in research, teaching and extension with links to sustainability. The inventory can provide a baseline to understand where the college stands currently and help identify areas of mutual support and where additional resources might be invested.
