May 2020 All-University Celebration Congratulations from the Chancellor May 2020 All-University Celebration Congratulations from the Chancellor Congratulations to the Class of May 2020. In August 2019, at the beginning of this academic year, none of us would have anticipated these would be the circumstances under which we would be celebrating your accomplishment. Despite the challenges of this semester, we will still graduate a record number of students in the May 2020 class. Our university community is made up of students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends who know what it means to be determined and resilient in the face of obstacles. We strive toward our goals by adapting and innovating. We reach out for help when we need it and support one another when we see someone who could use a helping hand. That is what we mean by “In Our Grit, Our Glory.” I could not be more proud of what you and all of our graduating students have accomplished during this unprecedented time of COVID-19. You have earned all the glory that comes with it! Commencement is a truly special time. As the first in my family to earn a college degree, I cherished my commencement ceremonies. We look forward to having you participate in person with us in one of our ceremonies in the future—whatever will work for you and your families to celebrate this degree and to celebrate this moment in person in our tradition at Nebraska. RONNIE D. GREEN You are part of a historical graduating class. You’ll always hold a special place in the heart of this great land-grant university and for me as your chancellor. We believe in you and all you can do with your Nebraska degree! Ronnie D. Green became the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s 20th chancellor on May 8, 2016. Green received bachelors and masters degrees in animal science from Virginia Tech and Colorado State University, respectively. His doctoral program was completed jointly at the University of Nebraska and the USDA-ARS U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in animal breeding and genetics in 1988. Chancellor Green is married to UNL alumna Jane Green and they are the proud parents of four children, all graduates of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. 2 Dream Big Class of May 2020 Remarks found at: commencement.unl.edu John Cook is entering his 21st season as the Nebraska volleyball head coach in 2020. Consistent excellence has been a hallmark of Cook’s Nebraska squads. Since taking over the program in 2000, Cook has guided the Huskers to four national titles, nine NCAA Semifinal appearances, nine Big 12 titles and three Big Ten championships. His teams have compiled a 588-81 record, owning the nation’s top winning percentages (.879) during his tenure. The Huskers have appeared in an NCAA Regional 25 times in the last 26 years, including 19 of 20 during Cook’s tenure. With Cook at the helm, Nebraska has produced numerous individual honors, including five Olympians, a Honda-Broderick Cup winner, three AVCA Division I National Players of the Year, two NCAA Top Ten Award winners, two Senior CLASS Award winners, 57 AVCA All-Americans, three CoSIDA Academic All-Americans of the Year, 19 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, one Big Ten Player of the Year, six Big 12 Players of the Year and three Big 12 Co-Players of the Year. Husker volleyball players combined for 40 first-team All-Big 12 awards and 61 academic All-Big 12 certificates in Cook’s tenure, while the Huskers have earned 29 All-Big Ten honors and 57 academic All-Big Ten accolades since 2011. JOHN COOK Cook is a seven-time conference coach of the year, including his selection as Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2016 and 2017. He is one of only four active coaches—and one of six all-time—to be a two-time AVCA National Coach of the Year (2000 and 2005) and was honored in 2008 by USA Volleyball by receiving its All-Time Great Coach Award. In 2017, Cook was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame, joining former Husker head coach Terry Pettit in the hall. A graduate of the University of San Diego, Cook earned his bachelor’s degree in history in 1979. He completed his master’s degree in teaching and coaching effectiveness from San Diego State in 1991. Cook and his wife, Wendy, are the parents of two children, Lauren and Taylor. 3 University Administration UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA–LINCOLN BOARD OF REGENTS ADMINISTRATION James D.

  • Youth Encouraged to Work Hard for Success IT Doesn’T Matter Where You Come From, Confidence Ceremony Held by the Conference Scheduled for Trinidad and Pandemic”
    Established October 1895 Spencer breaks silence on resignation PAGE 3 Friday July 10, 2020 $2 VAT Inclusive ‘REMAINMINISTER of Home Affairs, VIGILANT’ Edmund Hinkson, has urged Barbadians to be vigilant as the peak of the hurricane season has yet to arrive. Speaking to the media recently at a press briefing regarding the new traffic lights at the Westmoreland junction, Minister Hinkson also used the time to encourage Barbadians to be prepared for the hurricane season. “The reality is that we are very far from the height of the season and that Barbadians and residents must remain vigilant as to what can happen and nothing beats preparation,” stated Hinkson. The minister highlighted that for the first time, Barbados would be preparing for the season in the midst of a global pandemic. He explained that the current administration, through the National Advisory Committee, has been making preparations for the hurricane season and the committee has met five times over the last six weeks. “We would have met with social welfare, whose responsibility it is to ensure that people are protected socially, the most vulnerable. We have been involved with the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure that there will be food supplies to each area of Barbados in the event that any district in Barbados is cut off and that there would be sufficient food channelled to that area,” explained the minister. Hinkson also mentioned meetings with the Housing Ministry where stronger arrangements were made for the supply of building material, if there is a need for swift repairs for the houses of any residents impacted.

Topics discussed in the first of two major sections of this report include educational and industrial impacts of the computer and peripheral equipment, with particular attention to the use of computers in educational institutions and in an information society; theuse of robotics, a technology now being used in more than 2,000 schools and 1,200 colleges; the growing power of the media, particularly television; and the importance of educating young learners tocope with sex, violence, and bias in the media. The second section addresses issues created by microtechnologies since the first computer made its debut in 1946; redesigning the American educational system for a high-tech society; and developing curriculum appropriate for the microelectronic age, including computer applications and changes at all levels from early childhood education to programs for mature learners.

  • Horny Toads and Ugly Chickens: a Bibliography on Texas in Speculative Fiction
    HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page Dellwood Press Bryan, Texas June 2010 1 HORNY TOADS AND UGLY CHICKENS: A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON TEXAS IN SPECULATIVE FICTION by Bill Page In this bibliography I have compiled a list of science fiction, fantasy and horror novels that are set in Texas. I have mentioned several short stories and a few poems and plays in this bibliography, but I did not make any sustained attempt to identify such works. I have not listed works of music, though many songs exist which deal with these subjects. Most entries are briefly annotated, though I well understand that it is impossible to accurately describe a book in only one or two sentences. As one reads science fiction and fantasy novels set in Texas, certain themes repeat themselves. There are, of course, numerous works about ghosts, vampires, and werewolves. Authors often write about invasions of the state, not only by creatures from outer space, but also by foreigners, including the Russians, the Germans, the Mexicans, the Japanese and even the Israelis. One encounters familiar plot devices, such as time travel, in other books. Stories often depict a Texas devastated by some apocalypse – sometimes it is global warming, sometimes World War III has been fought, and usually lost, by the United States, and, in one case, the disaster consisted of a series of massive earthquakes which created ecological havoc and destroyed most of the region's infrastructure. The mystique of the old west has long been an alluring subject for authors; even Jules Verne and Bram Stoker used Texans in stories.
