The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences has a long history with the University of Illinois. Today, it is highly respected for its reputation of excellence in teaching, research, and outreach programs.
We put our students first—supporting them with a compassionate and close-knit academic community. You get the benefits of a Big Ten campus, but personalized advisors and small classes within the College.
Interim Dean Germán Bollero has been a member of the Illinois faculty since 1998, with a tenured home in the Department of Crop Sciences. Serving in a host of leadership roles shows his record of dedicated service to the College of ACES. A native of Argentina, he is an award-winning teacher and researcher who served as Associate Dean for Research in the College of ACES and Director of the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station since January 2018.
We believe the best way to tell our story is through the amazing people who make up the ACES family. Read our college blog and discover the stories of those people to better understand what we do in the College of ACES.
