The conference room was intended to provide a unique educational setting for growers and pest management decision-makers to receive hands-on IPM and pest-scout training, and present opportunities to meet with MSU researchers for in-depth discussion of current pest management topics and cutting edge research discoveries.

The conference room was dedicated on October 30, 2002, in honor of Dr. Gus Howitt for his research and Extension contributions to the Michigan Fruit Industry during his 29 years of service at Michigan State University as Tree Fruit Entomologist and director of the Trevor Nichols Research Center.
