Lincoln (Nebr.) - Nov. 12, 1999 - James Moeser, chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will travel to McCook, Ogallala and Sidney Nov. 16 as part of his annual community visit series.
After a breakfast with educators and community leaders in McCook, Moeser will visit with students at McCook High School. He'll meet with the Ogallala Chamber of Commerce and other community leaders at a luncheon in Ogallala. At the Sidney campus of Western Nebraska Community College, Moeser will visit with Sidney area high school students and close the day at a reception with educators and community leaders.
"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 as 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 said, "The university sees the entire state as its campus."
