- [00:00:00.566]My name is Todd Bartee.
- [00:00:01.969]I'm a professor at the University of Nebraska at Kearney
- [00:00:04.389]in the Department of Kinesiology Sports Sciences.
- [00:00:07.188]My interest and my education and my research area of focus
- [00:00:10.635]is on health education and health promotion.
- [00:00:12.966]I'm passionate about rural
- [00:00:14.793]because I believe that's where the character is.
- [00:00:19.871]There's so much character and diversity in rural.
- [00:00:23.919]The problem is, or the issue is, it's so spread out,
- [00:00:27.385]and it's like we don't have this critical mass
- [00:00:31.453]to communicate the great work that's going on.
- [00:00:34.638]And, I think there's a real role
- [00:00:35.691]for a rural futures institute is to help
- [00:00:37.693]connect the dots of the great stuff
- [00:00:40.986]that's going on in rural communities
- [00:00:42.956]so that other rural communities who want to thrive,
- [00:00:46.621]not just survive, can learn from those processes,
- [00:00:49.914]adapt them for their own communities, and move forward.
- [00:00:53.864]I believe that the RFI is a critical element
- [00:00:58.320]of the University of Nebraska system.
- [00:01:00.850]It's one of the only organizations
- [00:01:03.296]that I see that focuses on the process
- [00:01:07.537]of community engagement and working together.
- [00:01:11.461]This is a real opportunity for
- [00:01:14.557]gown and town to interact,
- [00:01:16.563]and for the university to come to life,
- [00:01:19.533]not because you send your son
- [00:01:20.739]or daughter there to go to school,
- [00:01:22.539]but because they came out to you to your community to
- [00:01:26.238]make an impact of what they have learned,
- [00:01:29.470]and they want to share it with you.
