Ronald Grant McCullough, ’54 BSc(Ag)
Ron McCullough’s love of agriculture is matched by his passion for his faculty. Since graduating 65 years ago, McCullough has helped the Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences develop partnerships with industry and other post-secondary institutions. He suggested a “Centennial Club” to mark the faculty’s 100th anniversary, inspiring 100 donors to each give $100,000 to ALES. McCullough and his wife, Brenda, have sponsored the Lilian McCullough Chair in Breast Cancer Surgery. His career has bridged cattle ranching and public service, serving as Red Deer alderman, Alberta assistant commissioner of the Canadian Grain Commission and director general of the federal Department of Regional Economic Expansion. McCullough still nurtures the bonds of his beloved Class of ’54, publishing his “Saggie Aggies” newsletter and being a homecoming class booster since 1990.
