Comings and goings
by Curtis Weller 04 Oct '24

04 Oct '24

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.

These paintings are artifacts of past and present investigations-presented in various stages, from initial sketches to near completion. This summer, D'Adamo will use the NIC art gallery as her temporary studio, revising and completing the works displayed, thus making visible how artworks evolve from concept to completion. Much of her earlier work delved into ecology, examining how and where we learn about the natural systems we are part of. Now, her research extends to educational environments, exploring how learning is shaped by the complex institutional systems we navigate. This progression reflects a deepening exploration of interconnection and complexity, both natural and educational. The location of Learning Environments at Nebraska Innovation Campus, with NIC’s strong ties to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the R1 flagship land-grant university, enhances the exhibition by embodying the interdisciplinary exploration and academic inquiry that underpin her work. Kimberley D’Adamo is an artist and a lecturer at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. She studied philosophy and the history of science at St. John's College in Maryland. She earned her BA in Visual Art and Philosophy at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has an MA in Art Education from SFSU and just received her doctorate at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. This exhibit is located in the 2nd floor link at Nebraska Innovation Campus and is free and open to the public daily from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. through June 30.

Change in Visitor Parking Policy!
by Julie Reiling 23 May '24

23 May '24

Effective June 1, 2024, parking permits will be required for the visitor parking stalls outside the receiving entrance. We have had too many instances lately of folks using these parking stalls instead of buying parking permits as required. NE Nova will, therefore, be updating the signs on the visitor parking stalls indicating that a permit is required. Anyone found parking in the visitor stalls without the hangtag permit will be ticketed. I will have permits available for those that need them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
