Horticulture Graduate Program Alumni
The WSU Horticulture Graduate Program awarded its first degree in 1926 and has trained over 300 previous, current, and future leaders for worldwide horticultural industries, academia, research, and extension posts through 2002.
WSU Horticulture Graduate Program alumni include several Fellows of the American Society for Horticultural Science (W.B. Ackley, L.L. Claypool, T.T. Hattan, A.L. Kenworthy, M.N. Westwood, R.M. Bullock, N.E. Looney, M.W. Williams) and others whose impacts on regional and national horticulture have been immense, such as Walt Clore, also known as "The Father of the Washington Wine Industry." We urge you to peruse the ever-increasing names and research projects of those whose footsteps through the graduate program portals of Washington State University have continued to create a lasting scientific history and foster horticultural innovation in the realm of the plant/human environment.
