Gregory McKee, assistant professor of agriculture and applied economics, received the “Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award” from the Western Agricultural Economics Association in the category for less than 10 years of experience.

The annual award recognizes members of the association who demonstrate personal interest in and availability to students, mastery of subject matter (course content), creativity in designing and using innovative teaching methods, impact on learning (based on student and peer evaluation) and impact on the departmental teaching program. A committee comprised of association members selects the award recipients.

McKee teaches an undergraduate course on cooperative businesses and a capstone course on agribusiness strategy. He also teaches an online section of the cooperatives course and sections of the course to three other campuses in the North Dakota University System.
