Lincoln (Neb.) - Oct. 22, 1999 - James Moeser, chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will travel to Alliance, Chadron and the Crawford area Oct. 28 as part of his annual series of community visits.
After a breakfast with educators and community leaders in Alliance, Moeser will tour the Alliance Library/Learning Center before joining the Chadron Rotary Club for lunch. He will meet with leaders of Chadron Public Schools and Chadron State College before he reviews local NU Extension efforts on his way to Fort Robinson State Park. At the park he plans to visit with community leaders while visiting the university's Trailside Museum.
"The university is committed to being an engaged institution, working in partnership with local communities to help maintain sustainability of local economies and cultures, as well families with critical issues affecting children and youth in Nebraska," Moeser said.
"I believe it's critical to listen to the concerns of our citizens. An engaged university is a university that listens. It is my hope that business and community leaders, alumni, parents and friends of our university will give us input during this series of visits to assist us in becoming an even more engaged university."
After he became the university's 18th chancellor in February
1996, Moeser began visiting communities to become acquainted with
the state. He continues this project to gather input and learn
more about the issues facing citizens across the state. Moeser
notes that "the university sees the entire state as its campus."
