Kenneth K. Chew WRAC and SAFS, Retired BIO: Ken Chew, Professor Emeritus at the UW, spent 40+ years on the SAFS faculty, starting in 1962. He received his PhD in 1961 at UW and was asked to develop, along with other faculty members, the shellfish and aquaculture instructional program, which attracted many students over the years. He was able to bring the Western Regional Aquaculture Center program into the School. Ken’s national and international travel in support of shellfisheries and aquaculture are well known. In 2001, the UW established an endowed professorship in aquaculture in Ken’s name. And in 2014, NOAA established the Kenneth K. Chew Center for Shellfish Research and Restoration at Manchester, Washington.
