OSU Food Science Harris Award
2006 Laureate
The Ohio State Food Science Faculty selects world
renowned Professor Daryl B. Lund as the 2006 Prize winner.
Dr. Lund will accept the award on October 3, 2006 at the
Parker Food Science and Technology Building, Room
118, Columbus, OH.
Daryl Lund earned a B.S. (1963) in mathematics and a
Ph.D. (1968) in food science with a minor in chemical engineering at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. During 21 years at the University of
Wisconsin, he was a professor of food engineering in the Food Science
Department serving as chair of the department from 1984 - 1987. He has
contributed over 150 scientific papers, edited 5 books, and co-authored
one major textbook in the area of simultaneous heat and mass transfer in
foods, kinetics of reactions in foods, and food processing.
In 1988 he continued his administrative responsibilities by chairing the
Department of Food Science at Rutgers University, and from December 1989
through July 1995 served as the Executive Dean of Agriculture and
Natural Resources with responsibilities for teaching, research and
extension at Rutgers University. In that position, among other
achievements, he initiated a rigorous strategic planning process for
Cook College and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station,
streamlined administrative services, fostered a review of the
undergraduate curriculum and encouraged the faculty to develop a "social
contact" for undergraduate instruction.
In August 1995, he joined the Cornell University faculty as The Ronald
P. Lynch Dean of Agriculture and Life Sciences. During his tenure as
dean of CALS, he initiated a strategic positioning process for the
college that guided the college through 20% downsizing, promoted the
Agriculture Initiative to gain increased state support for the
Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension, supported an
initiative in genomics and overhaul of the biological sciences, fostered
a review of undergraduate programs that led to major changes, and
supported the adoption of electronic technologies for undergraduate
teaching and distance education. In July 2000, Dr. Lund returned to the
Department of Food Science as Professor of Food Engineering.
In January 2001, Dr. Lund became the Executive Director of the North
Central Regional Association of State Agricultural Experiment Station
Directors. In this position he facilitates interstate collaboration on
research and a greater integration between research and extension in the
twelve-state region.
Among many awards in recognition of personal achievement, he is a
recipient of the ASAE/DFISA Food Engineering Award, the IFT
International Award and Carl R. Fellers Award, and the Irving Award from
the American Distance Education Consortium. He is an elected Fellow of
the Institute of Food Technologists, elected Fellow of the Institute of
Food Science and Technology (UK), and charter inductee in the
International Academy of Food Science and Technology.
This award is given annually to recognize excellence in and
contributions to the discipline of food science. There are no
geographic, employment, or membership restrictions of any kind for this
high stature accolade. The selection committee seeks to recognize
the accomplishments of an outstanding individual who made substantial
contributions to the advancement of food science or technology.
Ohio State food science faculty or their designees serve as selectors.
The purpose of the award is to celebrate excellence in
food science, food technology or related disciplines. The award
consists of an $3,000 honorarium plus all travel expenses to interact
with the faculty, staff and students of Ohio State. The annual
Harris Award Celebration will highlight an address by the winner on the
Columbus Ohio campus at a time most convenient for the awardee.

The award, established in
2003, is made possible by an endowment established by Ronald D.
Harris, former Vice President of Technology Kraft USA, former
Executive VP of R&D at Kraft-Nabisco, and Adjunct Faculty member of
Ohio State University Food Science. The first Ron Harris
Distinguished Food Scientist was Professor Steven Taylor (2005).
Established February 6, 2004, by Mr. Harris
through The Foundation. Up to eighty percent of income supports the
annual Ronald D. Harris Honorary Lectureship by a distinguished
research scientist or engineer from outside of the University. If
more than one lecture is presented, at least one should be
scientific or technical in nature. Remaining income supports
research and activities that serve the purpose of this fund. Unused
income is reinvested to principal.
