UNIVERSITY PARK Dr.
W. Wayne Hinish, associate dean
of Penn State's College of Agricul
ture and associate director of Penn
State Cooperative Extension, has
retired after more than 30 years at
the university.
He served as associate dean and
associate director since 1982, and
also served as interim dean of the
College of Agriculture in 1985 and
1986. He has provided leadership
in assisting the dean and director of
Cooperative Extension in the
development and administration
of policies, programs, personnel
and budgets.
“ I’ve always felt a professional
career depends on people, not just
your expertise in your program
area, and extension is a very
people-oriented career,” Dr. Hin
ish said. “I like to believe mine
was a successful career, and I attri
bute that, not to my abilities, but to
teamwork. Ever since I started as
an extension agronomist, it’s been
teamwork. Also, if you don’t have
the support of your family, your
professional career will suffer.
“Cooperative Extension in Pen
nsylvania has made its mark, not
only on the college but on the uni
versity and, more importantly, on
the people of the state. Its prog
rams have been good, its people
have been effective, and it has
responded to what the people said
they needed,” he said. “Oursensi
tivity to the needs of our clientele
and professional staff and faculty
has been unique.
Penn State Cooperative Exten
sion has been a leader in many
ways nationally. Dr. Hinish said
“One which comes to mind is our
use of computer technology both
in extension and in administration.
Also, I think our new plan of work,
setting priorities for the upcoming
years thataddress our clients’ most
pressing problems, will be a model
for many states.”
Dr. Hinish joined Penn State as
an instructor in agronomy exten
sion in 1954. He was named an
assistant professor in 1955, associ
ate professor in 1960 and professor
of agronomy extension in 1968.
From 1977 to 1980 he served as
coordinator of agronomy exten
sion programs, bringing together
ag industry representatives, far
mers, and government agency and
extension personnel to plan and
develop educational programs and
publications.
He developed numerous agri
cultural service schools held annu
ally at eight locations in the state.
He also helped organize and was
