Engaged Scholar: Tim McDermott Recognized by Outreach and Engagement

The Ohio State Office of Outreach and Engagement recently recognized Tim McDermott, educator, agriculture and natural resources, with OSU Extension in Franklin County, as an Engaged Scholar. Tim has built numerous relationships and partnerships with community leaders and other local citizens related to gardening and urban agriculture. As Tim says,

“One passion of mine is to engage in on-farm urban agricultural research with farmers, students and faculty to address challenges faced by increasing urban heat due to global climate change."

The Engaged Scholar series highlights Ohio State faculty who have made an impact in our communities through their community-engaged research and teaching. Read the Q&A with Tim online at engage.osu.edu/engaged-scholars-timothy-mcdermott
