Nebraska University President Hank Bounds

University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds spoke at our Kiwanis meeting in Seward this noon. He was introduced by Gail (Schulz) Miller, Executive Assistant to the President. Gail is the daughter of Marvin (Pee Wee) and Marilyn Schulz of Seward. President Bounds is relatively new to Nebraska but brings very impressive credentials following progressively responsible positions in Education in his home state of Mississippi. He presented a vary favorable picture of the Innovative Campus, The Medical school, and the impact of technology on education and our lives. The increase need for security of medical records is just one of many challenges. He responded very favorably to the impact of Nebraska being in the Big 10, the effect locally of Washington decisions, the question of global warming, our collaborative research in building predictive models, etc. While he outlined the University Budget challenges, he said we have not done a very good job of telling our story. I was very favorably impressed by what he said and how he said it.
