CSU professors inducted into FCCA Hall of Fame

Two long-time Colorado State University faculty members will be inducted into the Farm Credit Colorado Agriculture Hall of Fame in recognition of their lifetime achievements on Feb. 27 at 4:15 p.m. at the Renaissance Hotel in Denver.

Colorado State University professors Dr. Cleon Kimberling and Dr. Norman Dalsted will be among four individuals acknowledged at the banquet.

Kimberling earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science from CSU in 1951, and a degree in veterinary medicine in 1959. For 40 years, from 1965 to 2005, Kimberling was a faculty member in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and during this time also worked as a CSU extension veterinarian.
