Mr. Fargo, a full professor since 1994, joined the college's department of entomology as an assistant professor in 1981 and was promoted to associate professor in 1988. For the last 12 years, he chaired the department's graduate selection committee.

He was senior class president at Harbor High School. Also during his senior year, his family hosted Bjorn Boberg, a Norwegian foreign exchange student whom Mr. Fargo considered a brother. After graduating from high school in 1969, Mr. Fargo attended the Ashtabula branch of Kent State University for two years before transferring to Ohio State University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in 1974. Then he studied at Texas A&M University, where he earned a master's degree in 1977 and a doctorate in 1981. Mr. Fargo was a member of the Phi Sigma, Gamma Sigma Delta and Sigma Xi honor societies.
