I am profoundly grateful for having earned my PhD at University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Like many American universities, they are experiencing moral and spiritual decay in many of their departments, but it seems like Nebraska, as a state, is ahead of the curve in combating that degradation. The experience of my graduation reset my view of the institution in a very good way. A way that prepared me to want to contribute transactionally, but as a volunteer. My experience of the people there was amazing. They were invariable of great, good will. I planned all along to continue working with my adviser, Troy, but this inspired me to think more globally–to contribute to the institution of UNL generally, and to the School of Natural Resources in particular. To that end, I asked Troy if he could make me an Adjunct Professor (unpaid). He started the lobbying and paperwork to do that several months ago. Some excellent people wrote me some excellent reference letters and now we are at the final decision point. If all goes well, I will be an Adjunct Professor at UNL before the end of May.
