John Jaeger, the Calvin and Mary Hayenga Department Head of Animal Science at South Dakota State University, has a problem: his department is running out of desks for its Ph.D. students. 

“It’s a wonderful problem to have,” Jaeger said with a smile.

Jaeger, who took over as the department head in August 2023, said it’s an exciting time for the beef team as a core group of longtime faculty and experts is joined by rising stars in their respective disciplines. The rising rates of graduate and Ph.D. students in the Department of Animal Science are also a way for the College of Agriculture, Food, and Environmental Sciences to support SDSU’s vision of achieving designation as an R1 Research University by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.
