Dr. Linda S. Boeckner, Professor of Nutrition and Health Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has been appointed District Director of the Panhandle Research and Extension Center and the Panhandle Extension District. Boeckner's appointment was announced July 25 by John Owens, NU Vice President and Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Harlan Vice Chancellor. Her appointment is effective August 1.

"Dr. Boeckner was well-received by those who participated in the interview process in Scottsbluff and Lincoln and many positive comments were made about her professionalism, ability to work with others, and her skill in building strong teams," Owens wrote in an e-mail announcing the appointment to university personnel. "We think she will bring some special and highly-valued qualities and perspectives to the District and we know she will work with the faculty, staff, and clientele to support each of you to continue the momentum and dedication for which the PHREC faculty and staff are so well known." Boeckner said the Panhandle Center is an important part of the university's research and extension program. "We are dedicated to serving the clientele of the area in excellent fashion, and will be continuing those strong efforts into the future," she said. "The fact that we have an excellent faculty and staff to help meet those needs of one of the perks of the job." 8/4/08 Date: 7/30/08 Advertisement
