JoAnn Bell Pierce ACE President 1983-84 University of Florida Gainesville, FL
JoAnn Pierce was born November 26, 1925, and grew up in ranching country south
of San Antonio, Texas. She received a bachelor's degree in journalism and English from
Baylor University and a master's degree from the University of Missouri School of
Journalism.
Her land-grant university experience began in 1964 at the University of
Illinois where she was media services coordinator in the office of agricultural
communications. She joined the Florida staff in 1974 as a news writer and
extension publications editor. Because of an increased demand for publications
in the late 1970s, she was assigned exclusively to publications and was named
coordinator of the publications section in the Institute of Food and
Agricultural Sciences.
Pierce retired from the University of Florida in July 1996.
