The IGP Institute announces the recent appointment of Shawn Thiele as the flour milling and grain processing curriculum manager at Kansas State University.
In this role, Mr Thiele develops and teaches the core milling and processing courses at the IGP Institute.

“I hope to strengthen and expand the IGP Institute’s milling and processing courses through new and innovative teaching materials to provoke learning for participants and vest interest from the industry to energise the consumption of US grains worldwide,” Mr Thiele says.
Before stepping into this position, Mr Thiele was the operations manager at the KSU Hal Ross Flour Mill for more than three years. Prior to that, he worked in the oat and corn milling business units for eight years at Quaker Oats in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

I am really excited to see him in a leadership role supporting the IGP Institute programs. He will truly be an asset as we look to building the future programing at IGP and are thrilled to have him on board.”
