Lincoln (Neb.) - Dec. 9, 1999 - The University of Nebraska- Lincoln's leadership in the areas of outreach and technology was recognized last month when Chancellor James C. Moeser was named chair of a national commission.
The National Association of State Universities and Land- Grant Colleges appointed Moeser to a one-year term chair of its Commission on Outreach and Technology Transfer beginning Jan. 1.
"Outreach and technology transfer are key components of an engaged university," Moeser said. "I think my election to the chair of this commission is tacit recognition of the university's commitment to leadership in these key areas."
At the same time, Samuel H. Smith, president of Washington State University, was named chair of the association for 2000 and Gregory M.St.L. O'Brien, chancellor of the University of New Orleans, was named chair-elect.
Founded in 1887, the National Association of State
Universities and Land-Grant Colleges is a voluntary association
of 205 public research universities, land-grant institutions and
state university systems. Its members enroll more than 3.2
million students, award approximately a half-million degrees
annually and have an estimated 20 million alumni.
