Grandin Set To Speak On The Pullman Campus May 6

Grandin, a leading voice in autism awareness and humane livestock practices, has authored more than 15 books and dozens of scientific papers.  She also teaches animal science at Colorado State University. 

“I am honored to welcome Dr. Grandin to WSU and excited to hear her insightful, thought-provoking lecture,” said Raj Khosla, Cashup Davis Family Endowed Dean of WSU’s College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences. “Our college is very grateful for the generosity of Gordon Davis, whose endowment to the Deanship makes this lecture series possible. Though we were in separate academic units, I was honored to be part of the same College of Agricultural Sciences at Colorado State University for a period of over 20 years with Dr. Grandin.”  

Grandin is also the subject of the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning biographical film “Temple Grandin.” A showing of the 2010 film will be held Monday, May 4th at 7 p.m. in the CUB Auditorium. 

Next month’s talk launches a new biannual lecture series hosted by CAHNRS, supported by the Cashup Davis Family Endowment.
