Comings and goings

Colleagues - I write to share about upcoming arrivals and a departure in the building. On the NIC Business Center front, Mindy Lang has been named as the NIC Business Center Manager. She is set to start on May 1. Mindy is coming from the AEM Business Center where she currently serves as a Finance Specialist. Also, the support person covering duties of departed Ben Rogers until his replacement is identified is Lisa Beethe. Lisa is part of the Nat Res Business Center and can be reached at lbeethe3(a)unl.edu. Welcome to both. On the faculty front, Catelyn Bridges has accepted the offer to assume the position of food manufacturing engineer at the rank of assistant professor in the BSE (45% Tea and 25% Res) and FST (30% Res) departments. Her anticipated start date is January 1, 2025. Catelyn holds a BS degree in BSEN from UNL and an MS degree in Bio and Ag Engineering from Texas A&M. She is ABD in her PhD journey at the University of California - Davis. She's a native of Omaha. Thoughts from Dr. Mark Stone (BSE Department Head) on the Catelyn's acceptance - "This hiring decision comes after an extensive and extended search process, dating back four years. As many of you are aware, our initial open search processes did not result in a hire after two rounds of interviews. This led us to pivot towards a targeted search approach, through which Ms. Bridges emerged as a candidate whose vision and expertise uniquely position her to contribute to our departments. I want to assure everyone that this decision was made with the utmost consideration for the long-term benefit of BSE, FST, IANR, and UNL. Throughout this process, we received outstanding support from our deans, the Vice Chancellor's office, ORED, and even the Chancellor's office, affirming the strategic importance of this appointment despite our difficult budget conditions". And finally, on the staff front with sadness, I share that Sharisa Heier, Administrative Coordinator in FST for the past five years has accepted an offer outside of UNL in Lincoln. Her last day with us will be May 2. She has been of tremendous assistance to me and others during her time in the FIC. Please join me on Tuesday, April 30 at a noon luncheon (location and other details TBA) to thank her for her patience and support, and to wish her well in her new adventure.

Do not cancel or reschedule reservations for airfare, car, or hotel. * Approved travel requests in Concur for future travel after April 15, 2024, need to be recreated in Firefly (this needs to be done by the traveler or a delegate – it is not an automated process). A detailed Q&A is posted on the University’s website<https://nebraska.edu/-/media/projects/unca/docs/travel/travel-resources/qui…>. Faculty and staff with additional questions may contact the University of Nebraska’s Travel Office through an online form <https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/0b5f2a4be5ac4769a89fca0f44bf97cf> or by emailing traveloffice(a)nebraska.edu<mailto:traveloffice@nebraska.edu>.

Senior Design is the capstone program for Nebraska School of Computing<https://unl.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc7a2f&id…> students majoring in data science, computer science, software engineering and computer engineering. Students work in teams of five to six on a tech project sponsored by industry or university faculty. The two-semester course provides real-world, professional experience preparing students for their careers. Why sponsor a Senior Design project? 1. Sponsors request a project, and students develop a project/solution for the sponsor. The sponsor owns 100% of the intellectual property. 2. Sponsors save on costs. Outsourcing or hiring one full-time employee costs more than a Senior Design project. 3. Senior Design serves as an excellent recruiting pipeline for School of Computing students. Senior Design sponsors often hire students from their teams after graduation. 4. Senior Design offers sponsors and students an opportunity to innovate and collaborate on fresh ideas.

Put on your jersey, grab a friend or former teammate and spend the afternoon reminiscing about afternoons at the ballpark. What started out with a 1926 Howard County Championship photo of Randy Lukasiewicz’s grandfather has not stopped. A long time ago, Randy asked Coach Osborne, who has roots back to Farwell, NE, a small Polish village rich in baseball tradition, what he should do with all his photos, Coach Osborne simply replied, “I’m sure you’ll think of something.” He was right! Stop by the 2nd floor gallery space and stroll through the countless photos and memorabilia from the memorable era of Sunday afternoons spent at the ballpark with the sounds of wooden bats and steel cleats. This exhibit is free and open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. [https://mcusercontent.com/aa74e0e500b559fc0e6fc7a2f/images/f7366c35-e4e4-ac…] Frye Frazey & Associates Security at NIC Frye Frazey & Associates is a security company based in Lincoln, NE.
