So excited about getting this email on behalf of Dr. Steve Waller, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln:

This competition is open to all Nebraska residents as well as all UNL students, faculty, staff and alumni.  Videos entered into the competition may be used for future promotions as part of the GrowEatLearn.unl.edu website.

 

This contest is being sponsored by the “Transforming Food and Natural Resources, IANR to 2025” team who were charged by IANR Harlan Vice Chancellor, Ronnie Green to develop an integrated plan for enhancements in comprehensive student programs including interdisciplinary programs in the life sciences, NU system-wide food and natural resource literacy programming and requirements, general curriculum, minors, online options, 4-H and FFA curricula, and life-long learners curricula.  

My addition: So, get your creativity groove going and submit a video!  We are looking forward to seeing your videos!

Go Wild!
Dr. Connie
