Fall 2011 Progress We Have Made, and Consider What Is Yet to Be Done Cornhusker Impressions for alumni and friends of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry SimMan: Big man on campus He breathes and blinks. His chest rises and falls. His pulse can be felt at his wrist, neck, above his elbows, and in his feet. He can even tell you how he feels. And he is one of the most talked about new arrivals at the UNMC College of Dentistry. The SimMan® is a patient simulation system manufactured by Laerdal Medical, the same company that developed the resuscitation-training manikin, Resusci Anne. SimMan will be used to teach general emergency response techniques to dental and hygiene students and to teach graduate students how to respond in anesthesia-related emergencies. “I appreciate the fact we are one of the few dental schools in the country able to do this, due to the generosity of our alumni and friends,” said Dr. J. Bruce Bavitz, the Merritt C. Pedersen Endowed Professor of Dentistry. “This puts us on the cutting edge of one area of dentistry. At the same time we are trying to possibly save someone’s life through the use of the best equipment available.” The SimMan, which cost $50,000, was purchased in 2011 with private donations to the College of Dentistry’s Development Fund, Technology Fund, and other private see SimMan pg 4 A monitor displays SimMan’s vital signs. Fall | 2011 Margin of Excellence Our fall issue of Cornhusker Impressions focuses on the generosity of our alumni and friends. This issue contains some great examples of what private support does to keep us strong: cutting-edge teaching equipment (SimMan), support for student leadership activities, and collegiate renovations and furnishings (preclinic laboratories). In addition, this issue recognizes the many people and organizations who have contributed in the past year and those who have given at the Dean’s Club level. We have just completed the final steps in renovating the clinical and preclinical areas of the school, most of which had not received major upgrading since the building was constructed in 1967. The newest improvements in our preclinic labs are the last step in this phase of our current building upgrades. You can read more about the preclinic labs in this issue. The clinic-related improvements actually began in 2002 with the construction of the Henry and June Weeth Instrument Management Center, so we have been “in progress” for a long time. Ten classes of students have graduated since the first of these renovations began. Now that we have completed the physical improvements, we are focusing on even greater support for people and programs. Our educational programs, research activities, and service outcomes continue to remain very strong, but the basis for that excellence is the people behind these programs – our faculty and students. Susan Norby, NU Foundation Director of Development, has written an article in this issue that describes our goals and progress as part of the Campaign for Nebraska: Unlimited Opportunities. I hope as you read that article, you will think hard about the Cornhusker Impressions | Fall 2011 progress we have made, and consider what is yet to be done. If you haven’t already Impressions is published three times contributed or pledged during the campaign, I hope you will think about that now. a year for alumni and friends of With three new dental schools opening in the United States this fall and more than the UNMC College of Dentistry. 300 vacant full-time faculty positions among U.S. dental schools, the challenge of Comments and suggestions are attracting and retaining the best and brightest faculty and students is becoming welcome. more difficult.

    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR INDIAN ARTS AND CRAFTS BOARD Southern Plains Indian Museum 801 EAST CENTRAL BLVD., ANADARKO, OK 73005 To feature Eric Tippeconnic in a Special Exhibition FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ANADARKO, OKLAHOMA: The Southern Plains Indian Museum, administered by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, U.S. Department of the Interior, will feature an exhibit of artwork by Eric Tippeconnic. The exhibition will run from July 15 to September 2, 2016. The exhibition is free and open to the public. Eric Tippeconnic, an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation of Oklahoma, is a talented painter. He holds a Masters of Arts from the University of Colorado, Denver, and is presently a PhD candidate in Native American History at the University of New Mexico. In addition to his career as a full time visual artist, Eric is a Lecturer in the History Department at California State University, Fullerton. He currently resides in Los Angles, California with his family. As a self-taught painter, Eric credits both his father’s Comanche heritage and his mother’s Danish culture with sparking his interest in art at an early age. His artistic process begins with revisiting stories he was told as a child, reading historical documents, and examining photographs. Through these oral traditions and media he finds inspiration for his bold and vibrant paintings. Another signature of Eric’s work is a sense of movement in his subjects. The motion he depicts, along with his use of bright colors, represents the evolution of his Comanche cultures’ ability to adapt and thrive in the contemporary world.

  • Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era Celebrates Legacy of Agrarian Art and Culture
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era celebrates legacy of Agrarian Art and Culture ST. JOSEPH, MO – April 2, 2021—The Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art is honored to present the very first public exhibition of artwork from collectors Mark and Carol Moseman. Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era: Artwork from the Moseman Collection of Agrarian Art features a selection of 60 paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting the people, places, and daily activities of the 1850s to the 1940s. The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, April 17 to Sunday, June 6, 2021. An opening reception will be held on Friday, April 16, 2021 from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. This reception is free and open to the public. Masks and social distancing will be required. Mark and Carol Moseman, from David City, Nebraska, organized their collection to reveal epic change in agrarian life from homesteading in the1850s, evolving into an exodus from the land in the1940s. Artwork included in the Moseman Collection influenced both immigrant and American pioneers seeking liberty and an agrarian democracy, longing for a “Jeffersonian Ideal.” “I hope the exhibition may also cause visitors to think about how our democracy should be acting today in our ongoing responsibility to care for the land that sustains us all,” says Mark Moseman. Agrarian Spirt in the Homestead Era features major European and North American artists alike, including Jean-Francois Millet, Diego Rivera, John Steuart Curry, Winslow Homer, and Harvey Dunn. Following its closing on June 6, 2021 at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art, the Agrarian Spirit in the Homestead Era exhibition will travel to the Great Plains Art Museum at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln for a subsequent exhibition from July 2 to October 23, 2021.

During an Aug. 17 media tour of the arena, Bob Caldwell of Hampton Construction reported that construction is slightly ahead of schedule and on budget. This composite image shows work inside the $179 million project. Workers started to move roof trusses (top right) into place earlier this month.

  • Christina Mcphee CV July 2021
    Christina McPhee www.christinamcphee.net July 2021 Christina McPhee’s images move from within a matrix of queer abstraction and contingent effects. “One gets the sense that the image conjured up is all at once a particular, individual, material composite (colored ink, graphite, paper, the skills of a hand) and a precarious, temporary, expression of forces for which no adequate, human- readable language exists. The question of drawing’s mobilities is thus a question of expressive sympathy, imitation and belief in some kind of connection or association to other mobilities, however fraught or tentative.” – Ina Blom Born in Pomona, California, Christina McPhee studied at Scripps College, Claremont and Kansas City Art Institute, and was a student of Philip Guston (Boston University MFA 1979). Her subsequent career has engaged with abstraction and landscape across media, including video, photomontage, drawing, and painting. Museum collections include the Whitney Museum of American Art, International Center for Photography, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art; and Thresholds New Media Collection, Scotland. Solo museum exhibitions include the American University Museum, Washington, D.C. and Bildmuseet, Umeå, Sweden, for her project Carrizo-Parkfield Diaries (2007) on seismic memory. Solo gallery shows include Irenic Projects, Pasadena (2020); Cerritos College Art Gallery, (2016); Jessica Silverman Gallery, San Francisco (2009), and Sara Tecchia, New York (2006). She has participated in many international group exhibitions, notably with documenta 12 (2007), Bucharest Biennial 3, the Museum of Modern Art Medellin, and California Museum of Photography/Digital Studio. She is a Ucross Foundation fellowship artist (2019). Christina McPhee lives and works in central coast California.
