Trechter Named UWRF Adviser of the Year
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/19/2017

A professor of agricultural economics at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls has been named the school's 2017 Adviser of the Year. Nominations for the honor were submitted by graduating seniors and recent alumni.

"Dr. Trechter is interested in his advisees' goals. He is caring, and wants to know what all is going on in their lives other than school," one of his students said in their nomination letter. "He's dedicated to his advisees and will do what he can to help them succeed and continue after graduation."

Trechter says he enjoys working with students as they figure out what they want to do with their life. He was especially pleased that the award was based on nominations from students.

In addition to providing academic advice to students in his department, Trechter has been the faculty adviser for the Delta Theta Sigma fraternity for the past seven years and the Agriculture Business and Marketing Society since 2006.

He joined the UWRF faculty in 1990 after earning his Ph.D. from Michigan State University and completing a six-year stint in Washington D.C. working first at the USDA and then the Congressional Budget Office. In addition to his teaching responsibilities, Trechter is a statewide specialist with UW-Extension working in the areas of cooperatives and rural development.
