Garrell Long received his B.S. in Biology and M.S. in Zoology from Arizona State University, and his Ph.D. in Zoology from Washington State University in 1974. His research on insect dispersal as a factor important to the success of pest management systems has included a variety of both beneficial and pest insects of forest, orchard, forage, and row crop ecosystems. His areas of specialization are Ecology, Biocontrol, and Crop Systems Modeling. His administrative experience includes two terms as Chair of the WSU Department of Entomology and six years as Coordinator of the Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program for the WSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics. He has had extensive work-related travel experiences in Central and South America and the South Pacific. He is fluent in Spanish, and has a working knowledge of French and Bahasa (Malay). He continues to assist the College and University in the development of international opportunities for faculty, students and staff.
