[00:00:00.560]Well, welcome back to our weekly series.
[00:00:03.050]As we're walking around East campus
[00:00:05.200]and connecting with our amazing CASNR students,
[00:00:08.190]and seeing some of the new teaching
[00:00:09.850]and learning spaces that we have here on East Campus.
[00:00:12.840]So today, I'm very fortunate to be joined
[00:00:14.700]by a couple of our Engler entrepreneurship students.
[00:00:18.100]And the Engler space is now here
[00:00:20.980]in the Dinsdale Learning Commons.
[00:00:22.540]And so, they're really excited
[00:00:24.330]about the new space that they have here.
[00:00:26.240]We wanna do a special shout-out to Paul Engler,
[00:00:29.670]for his generosity and contributions
[00:00:32.110]to providing the opportunity for the Engler program
[00:00:35.110]to be within the Dinsdale Learning Commons.
[00:00:37.480]So, with our two students,
[00:00:38.760]how about you guys tell them who you are,
[00:00:40.820]what's your major is, we know your Engler students
[00:00:43.070]and that's great.
[00:00:44.000]And then, where you're from.
[00:00:45.540]Yeah, absolutely.
[00:00:46.373]So, I am Maria Hartcorn.
[00:00:47.630]I am from Ainsworth, Nebraska.
[00:00:49.230]I'm a junior majoring in AG Econ
[00:00:51.700]and minoring in Enlger program.
[00:00:53.520]I'm Lucy Kimble.
[00:00:54.470]I'm from Callaway, Nebraska.
[00:00:55.840]I'm also a junior
[00:00:57.010]and I have a major in hospitality with an agronomy minor.
[00:01:00.460]Yeah. So Lucy, question for you.
[00:01:02.724]Yes.
[00:01:03.557]What do you like best
[00:01:04.390]about this new space for the Engler program?
[00:01:06.860]So, I'm a TA for the one-on-one class
[00:01:09.210]and I love having our deep conversations
[00:01:11.190]in the living room because it just is opening
[00:01:13.360]for everybody to be able to sit in
[00:01:15.380]like family style room
[00:01:16.730]and be able to do like family style thing there.
[00:01:18.740]So, I think that's just fantastic for us.
[00:01:21.920]Perfect, so real sense of community-
[00:01:23.430]Yeah, absolutely.
[00:01:24.710]And a great space to be able to connect in there.
[00:01:26.820]Exactly.
[00:01:27.829]Maria, what about you?
[00:01:28.662]Yeah. I would just have to reciprocate that, you know,
[00:01:30.950]there's been so much that's been online
[00:01:33.320]and just so disconnected,
[00:01:35.510]but there's always people here.
[00:01:37.090]And we can always walk in
[00:01:38.910]whether we're doing our homework,
[00:01:39.920]working on businesses
[00:01:40.820]or eating lunch like we were, just a few minutes ago.
[00:01:43.840]We're really able to stay connected on campus
[00:01:45.460]in the middle of the day
[00:01:47.010]amidst the chaos and amidst busy and just gather.
[00:01:49.910]So, it's really a great opportunity for us.
[00:01:50.990]Perfect, so you haven't been in here very long,
[00:01:53.030]but you guys already have your sense of belonging.
[00:01:55.180]You see the wonderful wall here
[00:01:56.940]of all of our entrepreneurs
[00:01:58.159]which is awesome too.
[00:01:59.704]So, maybe a little bit about
[00:02:01.560]what's project that you're working on
[00:02:02.900]with the Engler program right now.
[00:02:04.490]So, I'll actually turn that over to Lucy
[00:02:06.340]'cause she has some exciting stuff
[00:02:07.670]going on right now, actually. Excellent.
[00:02:09.350]So, back home in Callaway,
[00:02:10.950]I have started a small vineyard
[00:02:13.240]just South of Callaway.
[00:02:14.250]So, here's my picture up here.
[00:02:17.220]In May, we're planting 450 more vines.
[00:02:20.680]So, that's really exciting.
[00:02:22.870]I'm very excited to see how it goes.
[00:02:24.340]We're planting a bunch of new varieties.
[00:02:25.910]So, very interesting.(laughs)
[00:02:28.550]Yeah. Sounds awesome.
[00:02:30.100]Congratulations. Thank you.
[00:02:31.181]That's terrific and that's what we hope
[00:02:33.247]for our Engler entrepreneurs also.
[00:02:35.550]So, my last question I'm gonna ask you
[00:02:37.370]and by far the most challenging.
[00:02:39.210]So, what's your favorite flavor
[00:02:40.940]of Dairy Star ice cream?
[00:02:44.239]I'm a loyal butter brickle fan.
[00:02:46.970]Personally, I don't stray very far from that.
[00:02:49.490]So, I'd have to say butter brickle for sure.
[00:02:51.210]Yeah, I'm pretty loyal to the scarlet and cream.
[00:02:53.447](all laughing)
[00:02:54.280]Perfect. Perfect.
[00:02:55.542]Well, again thank you for joining us today.
[00:02:58.480]And again, two amazing CASNR students and we're here
