University Of Nebraska Board Of Regents/ Academic Affairs Committee: Engagement With Community, John Owens
University Of Nebraska Board Of Regents/ Academic Affairs Committee: Engagement With Community, John Owens
John Owens: Speeches and Appearances
Board of Regents and President Smith: It's a real pleasure to be able to discuss the University's role in engagement with you today on behalf of the four campuses that comprise the University of Nebraska.
In preparing this presentation I've drawn heavily upon the Kellogg Commission's report, entitled: "Returning to our Roots - The Engaged Institution," and the Michigan State University guidebook for planning-and-evaluating quality outreach, which is entitled: "Points of Distinction." I think both publications offer valuable insights as we explore the University's role as an engaged-partner with Nebraska.

Football Pregame, John Owens
John Owens: Speeches and Appearances
Good afternoon! I am John Owens, and it is my good fortune to be Vice President and Vice Chancellor of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Chancellor Harvey Perlman certainly regrets that he cannot be present at today’s pregame reception. His daughter is being recognized at Ak-Sar-Ben in Omaha, and he’s celebrating this very special occasion with his family.
And speaking of family, I would like to introduce my wife, Dr. Virginia Owens. This probably is the right time for me to confess that both Virginia and I are graduates of Texas Tech. Now, we want everyone to know that “alumni loyalty” …

The Land Grant University Movement And Ianr: Animal Science Seminar Series, John Owens
John Owens: Speeches and Appearances
"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking we were at when we created them."
That quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, epitomizes for me the importance of land grant universities in the 21 st century, and whenever I hear someone say that land grants are obsolete - which, occasionally, I do hear - I want to pull that quote out and say "here - read this." When all the problems in the world have been solved, then - and only then - will land grant universities be obsolete. Maybe. I'm …

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking we were at when we created them." - Albert Einstein
What is higher education? It is a key tool to our gaining the level of thinking Einstein describes - the level of thinking needed to solve the problems that exist in the world today. I am not saying higher education is the only thing that prepares people to think - far from it. But higher education, if it does what it is meant to do, prepares us with a solid base of …
‘Forrest’ Resistance To The Soybean Cyst Nematode Is Bigenic: Saturation Mapping Of The Rhg1 And Rhg4 Loci, K. Meksem, P. Pantazopoulos, V. N. Njiti, D. L. Hyten, P. R. Arelli, D. A. Lightfoot
‘Forrest’ Resistance To The Soybean Cyst Nematode Is Bigenic: Saturation Mapping Of The Rhg1 And Rhg4 Loci, K. Meksem, P. Pantazopoulos, V. N. Njiti, D. L. Hyten, P. R. Arelli, D. A. Lightfoot
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Field resistance to cyst nematode (SCN) race 3 (Heterodera glycines I.) in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cv ‘Forrest’ is conditioned by two QTLs: the underlying genes are presumed to include Rhg1 on linkage group G and Rhg4 on linkage group A2. A population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and two populations of near-isogenic lines (NILs) derived from a cross of Forrest × Essex were used to map the loci affecting resistance to SCN. Bulked segregant analysis, with 512 AFLP primer combinations and microsatellite markers, produced a high-density genetic map for the intervals carrying Rhg …

John Owens: Speeches and Appearances
We begin the 2001 Master Conservationist program with honorees in production agriculture from District A which includes the Panhandle of Nebraska. I would like to ask Leon and Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel (Kresel) of Gurley who are unable to be present. They operated the family farm in partnership with Fred and Viola Kriesel until 1984 when Leon and Cheryl become sole owners/operators. The Kriesels produce certified wheat, millet, oats, and barley seed on 3200 dryland acres that are owned, rented, or contracted. Since 1984, 45,000 feet of terraces have been installed. Their holistic conservation plan also includes over 57,000 feet of windbreaks …

Nebraska Lead Xxi Fellow/Spouses Dinner, John Owens
John Owens: Speeches and Appearances
“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character give him power.”
That quote, by my hero Abraham Lincoln, is one I think all leaders should remember and reflect on regularly in their life, and so I pass it on to each of you. I wish each member of this LEAD group the character to use power wisely, with compassion and integrity, and a strong-sense of justice and fair play.

Some of them will come looking for mentors; some will find mentors they didn’t even know they sought.

It is a real treat for me and my wife Virginia to be with you in Scottsbluff today.

I consider it a real pleasure to have this opportunity to join Chuck Hibberd and all who are part of the University of Nebraska Panhandle Research and Extension Center in welcoming you here.
I'm delighted to join you here at the Panhandle center for several reasons. First off, I …

I hope you all had the opportunity to see the first issue of University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension’s Connect newsletter.

Good afternoon, and thank you for inviting me to be here with you today. One of the things I'm enjoying most in my new position as University of Nebraska Vice President of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Harlan Vice Chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources is meeting the people who live in this state, in urban and rural areas, from Scottsbluff to Omaha, from Lincoln to Curtis, and at any number of towns - north, south, east, west - in between.
