Eli Sagor has been promoted to Extension Professor at the University of Minnesota by the Board of Regents.  A group of his peers reviewed his prodigious body of work, including leadership of SFEC, numerous publications, assistance to professional organizations, mentorship of graduate students and teaching efforts and affirmed that the value he has brought to the University of Minnesota and the State was worthy of the rank of Extension Professor.  Their recommendation was then made official when the Board of Regents approved the promotion. Congratulations Eli!
