Oklahoma State University Agriculture’s Dean’s Dialogue series continued on May 19, hosting David Newman, chief executive officer for the National Pork Board. Dean’s Dialogue launched in 2023 as a platform for agricultural leaders to share perspectives and focus on essential conversations in the industry.
Jayson Lusk, vice president and dean of OSU Agriculture, sat down with Newman to discuss the pork industry and its future. Newman currently leads the Pork Checkoff-funded promotion, research and education projects on behalf of the nation’s 60,000 pork producers.
“It was a privilege to bring David onto campus and hear his perspectives,” Lusk said. “Learning from David about current trends in the pork industry and how technology is intertwined into their work was fascinating. His insights on consumer habits and perception were valuable for students, faculty and staff.”
The pair discussed a handful of topics, including current trends in the pork industry, the impact artificial intelligence could have and the public perception of pork during the hour-long talk.
