William M. Randle, PhD

November 21, 2017

Dear Search Committee Members,With this letter I convey my interest in, and application for the position of

Department Head in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at NC State University As the former Dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at North Carolina A&T State University, and from my previous position as Chair of Horticulture and Crop Science at the Ohio State University, I believe I have achieved the necessary background,qualifications and skills to help lead the Department of Horticultural Sciences at NC State University. What attracts me to this position is the opportunity to lead again an outstanding faculty that covers the full range of land-grant activities at an outstanding Institution.

I was recruited to the Dean, Research Director and Extension Administrator position at A&T, and began serving in September, 2011. Before joining NCA&T, the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences lost six of its academic degree programs to low productivity metrics established by the University of North Carolina System. The college was in academic trouble. As a result, providing a vision and shoring up the academic programs were the initial priorities for myself and the administrative cabinet. In that first 12 months, we underwent college-wide strategic planning and made comprehensive revisions to our undergraduate and graduate curricula by directly engaging the faculty and students of our different departments. Our vision and efforts resulted in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Science having the largest enrollment growth for the entire University in 2014. That same year, our College exceeded 1000 enrolled students for the first time in its history, and NC A&T State University became the largest HBCU in the United States. Student enrollment continues togrow, surpassing 1130 at census this fall (2017). We had and cultivated excellence among out students, and our faculty were committed to their success and hold them to high standards. Our undergraduate teams were back-to-back quiz bowl winners at the national MANNRS conference (2012 & 2013), coming in second in 2014. In addition, our students won the campus Chancellor’s award two of the last four years (the highest undergraduate award given on campus).

While I was Dean, our College maintained its campus-wide leadership position for research expenditures while successfully obtaining grants from NIFA, AFRI, NSF and NIH. Research from our faculty was highlighted on the landing page of NIFA’s website in 2015 (non-allergenic peanuts). To support our various programs in local and regional foodsystems, we conceptualized and formed a new ‘Urban and Local Food Complex’ and ‘student-run enterprise’ at our university farm. Planning continues for the centerpiece of the complex (the multipurpose pavilion), and our student-run farm is planning for their first crops this Spring with the intent to sell their harvest to campus dining services as fresh and healthy local food.

Because of a high need to upgrade our facilities, we developed a comprehensive plan to renovate our teaching, research, office and common spaces in the buildings we occupied. Renovations continue to progress as part of a 5-year rejuvenation scheme.

Even though our Developmental Office struggled here at A&T with multiple administrative changes during the four years I was Dean, our College still managed to make advances in obtaining gifts and endowments with a part-time development officer.

In 2015, we received a major gift from Blue Cross and Blue Shield to support our Healthy Eating, Food Justice, and Urban Food Initiatives and a $600,000 gift from the Kellogg Foundation to support our work on food justice and improving food access.

During my career, I have sat on commodity boards, advisory boards and boards of directors. I routinely participate in state, regional and national administrator meetings and have worked with mayors, county commissioners, agricultural commissioners, governors and industry leaders. Under my leadership at NC A&T State University, we sustained strong relationships with the USDA and NIFA and hosted on separate visits, NIFA DirectorSonny Ramaswamy and the then USDA Undersecretary of Agriculture, Catherine Woteki.

Our vision, focus and initiatives, while unique from other things that were being done on campus, were always aligned with the A&T’s strategic plan of Preeminence 2020.Being innovative, finding opportunities, and creating institutional leadership, all while maintaining fidelity to a University’s mission and vision, is a perspective and ability I wouldbring to the Department Head position in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at NC State University.

Two years into my tenure as Dean, we had administrative changes in the Chancellor’s cabinet including a new Provost. Soon thereafter, the University announced plans to reorganize the University, eliminating, dividing or combining some of the Collegesor Schools in the University. In the following two years, 6 of the 8 Academic Deans were retreated to the faculty. I was one of those, being retreated in July 2015. The University announced its reorganization in June 2016. Most of the retreated Dean positions are still filled by interim Deans, including my College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. North Carolina is an “at-will” state and I was given no reason from my retreat. However, since my retreat, the College has not deviated from the vision I set with my administrative cabinet and our interactions with the faculty, staff and students. Our signature programs continue to be: “Local and Urban Food Systems”, “Small Farms and Building Local Economies”, developing and serving “Strong Families/Strong Communities,” “Healthy Food/Healthy Eating” and providing degree programs heavy in “Experiential Learning Opportunities.” I take some satisfaction in seeing the College continue the path we set during my four years as Dean. I believe it demonstrates the collaborative and service leadership style I practiced. With the vision presented, the cabinet and College actively worked on, molded and embraced the vision, and so it became theirs. If given the opportunity, I would bring this style of leadership to the Department of Horticultural Sciences. It is a leadership style I began to cultivate as Chair of the Horticulture and Crop Science Department at The Ohio State University. Hopefully you will see in my vitae and executive administrative summary the productivity, accomplishments and successes we had during my tenure as an administrator and leader.

Currently, I am a professor in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental design where I am teaching nine different courses per academic year in our Urban and Community Horticulture concentration. As an example of our experiential learning philosophy we apply to our courses, students from my “Season Extension for Sustainable Production” class constructed a small polycarbonate greenhouse (12’x24’) oncampus which was highlighted in our College news releases and College video.

We are the sum of our experiences. In my initial appointment as an assistant professor of plant breeding at Louisiana State University, I was part of a team of seven scientists that released ‘Beauregard’ sweet potato, so I know and value participation in group efforts. ‘Beauregard’ went on to become the most widely grown sweet potatoes in the U.S. for nearly 20 years and is still being grown today. I left LSU to take a position with Basic American Foods, a privately owned, vertically integrated vegetable dehydrationcompany in California, as plant breeder and manager of research. During my employment at BAF, I spent 25% of my time in Mexico helping set up a new business for

the company by investigating off-season production and establishing research trials. These experiences, in and outside the country, were my awakening to the importance of having a global perspective and understanding the needs and demands of the agriculturalindustry.

Most of my career was spent at the University of Georgia where I developed an internationally known research program in flavor development and manipulation, specifically as it related to sulfur uptake and metabolism in plants. As a faculty member, I generally taught 3 courses a year at both undergraduate and graduate levels and was graduate coordinator for the department for most of my time at UGA. I participated in faculty committees at both the College and University levels. Before leaving UGA, I became chair of the executive faculty committee in the College and functioned as liaison between the faculty and administration.

While at UGA, I participated in the ESCOP/ACOP leadership development programsponsored by the USDA which was my introduction into leadership and management training. The two-year program motivated my interest in pursuing an administrative role and I accepted the position of Chair of the Horticulture and Crop Science Department at the Ohio State University in 2006. There I led and managed the plant sciences. While I was Chair, our department doubled research expenditures, developed a new strategic plan, underwent quarter to semester conversion, added a new major, and grew from 38 to41 faculty members, all being done while taking an overall 25% reduction in our state appropriations over the 5-year period. We also raised nearly 1$ million in gifts and endowments. These accomplishments, where our Department continued to grow and excel in an environment of declining state support, gave me unique experience, training and perspectives that I would bring to the Horticultural Science Department.

Midway through my time at Ohio State, I was offered the opportunity to attend the Food Systems Leadership Institute (FSLI) which offers leadership training to academic, government and industry leaders. Prior to graduating FSLI, I was approached by representatives for North Carolina A&T State University and accepted the position of Dean in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences in 2011.

I believe I have a positive record in all minimum and most of the preferred qualifications listed, and I would look forward to helping the Department of Horticultural Sciences grow with the quality and commitment demanded by NC State University, its state’s leaders and its citizens. As you read through my vitae, you will see that I have a successful record as a leader of academic, research and extension units and in working with majority as well as under-represented groups. I believe in service leadership, faculty governance and practice a management style that promotes inclusive and collaborative governance. Most of all, I believe we should create an atmosphere of mutual respect and tolerance so that the ideas and beliefs of all can be heard. These are the leadership qualities that I practice, and I believe, were responsible for taking an underachieving department at Ohio State University to double its research output and grow in an environment of declining State resources. These same leadership qualities helped our College at NC A&T State University reverse faltering academic programs to become campus leaders in enrollment growth. I am interested in learning more about this opportunity at NC State University, and believe my leadership philosophy and management style would very much fit your institution. I look forward to future correspondence.

Sincerely yours,

William M. Randle, PhD

Executive Summary: Major leadership accomplishments

-Chair: Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, The Ohio State University, Columbus and Wooster OH: November 1, 2006 to August 30, 2011: Managed and led a diverse faculty of 41 located on two campuses 95 miles apart. Developed and managed budgets for academic programs, research and extension. Managed and led endowment activities and accounts.

The department doubled research expenditures during my 5 years as chair We invested overhead returns in improving research infrastructure to include shared used

equipment purchases and back-up power units to support our incubators, freezers and ultra-low units making us increasingly competitive for extramural funding.

Crises Management : Following a 2010 tornado on our Wooster campus with damage to our two buildings and complete loss of our greenhouse complex, we collaborated with the campus and implemented emergency plans to first temporarily operate our unit, second to reorganize our department to accommodate reconstruction and three, completely move our greenhouse operation into temporary structures. With loss of power to the campus for several days, we were one of a few units that did not lose valuable research stored in refrigerated or ultra-low campus units because of our investment in back-up power capability .

We successfully implemented a cost share plan for greenhouse usage by research and extension faculty to compensate for loss in state appropriated funding .

We renovated graduate student office spaces on the Wooster campus to be more efficient and effective to accommodate increasing numbers of students resulting from increased research activity.

We invested in improved video link technology to provide better communication, business function and course offerings between our two campuses separated by 95 miles.

We successfully converted our undergraduate and graduate degree programs (5) from quarters to a semester system .

We established a new degree program in Professional Golf Management We established a student-run farm as a way of attracting non-traditional students into the

plant sciences and plant-based agriculture. Our faculty grew from 38 to 41 by taking advantage of special initiatives during a time when

we experienced nearly a 25% overall departmental budget cut (2006 to 2011). We raised nearly $750,000 in advancement activities and when I left we were working on a

$17 million endowment. We reorganized our business office to become more efficient and effective across our

two campuses, consolidating fiscal and human resource functions. Served on the board of directors or advisory board for: Ohio Soybean Council, Ohio

Grape Industries, Ohio Turfgrass Foundation, OFA, Ohio Nursery and LandscapeAssociation, The Ohio Produce Growers & Marketers Association

We expanded and further developed the Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens on campus, hired a new Director, and initiated a first on campus green roof garden and demonstration area associated with the arboretum. The green roof project funded from donations, gifts and endowments and was completed after I left the chair position.

We developed a new strategic plan for the department which fell under the umbrella of the College and University strategic plans.

I successfully completed the Food System Leadership Institute program for advanced leadership training (2009-2011) and became a fellow.

-Dean: School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC: Sept. 2011 to July 2015. I was responsible for setting the vision, leading and managing academic programs, research activities and extension and outreach programs. The diverse faculty of 61 is housed in four academic departments and in the cooperative extension program.

Total school expenditures exceed $33 million. Successfully lead a strategic planning and visioning process for the School under the

umbrella of the University’s plan of Preeminence 2020. Culminating in 2014, signature programs of the School include: Local Food and Health, Local and Urban Food Systems; Strong Families/Strong Communities that focus on human nutrition, family finances and parenting; NanoScience/NanoTechnology applications to food systems; Small Farms Collaborative targeted to enhance minority participation in the local food economy.

Developed a plan for the University Farm which included a new Master Plan and a Local and Urban Food Complex consisting of a multi-use pavilion, a food packing and processing center to support student-run farm activities and local food enterprises, a student-run farm, community gardens and an outdoor amphitheater.

With the loss of six academic programs in agriculture to low productivity in May 2011, Iled an effort to revitalize multiple curricula across our academic departments that culminated in new undergraduate and graduate academic programs in 2012 .

Along with increased emphasis on student recruitment and retention, the School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences lead the University in enrollment growth (12.9%) in 2014 and we surpassed 1,000 students enrolled in our School for the first time in the School’s history (1,037 at Fall census) .

Implemented an experiential learning environment philosophy in our curricula modeled after Cal Poly SLO “learning by doing”.

Initiated a student-run farm to enhance the experiential learning environment and to recruit non-traditional students into agriculture.

The School of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences continued to have the largest research effort on the campus of NC A&T State University .

Initiate the formation of the NC A&T “Small Farms Collaborative” to support the local food economy targeting limited-resourced and socially disadvantaged farmers and communities. The “Collaborative” is a signature program which is led by Cooperative Extension.
