- [00:00:03.170]My name is Kent Mann,
- [00:00:04.800]I've been here at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln
- [00:00:08.020]for the past seven years.
- [00:00:09.260]I joined the faculty in 2011.
- [00:00:11.970]I spent
- [00:00:13.400]36 years
- [00:00:14.930]in public education
- [00:00:17.130]as a teacher, a coach, a principal, and superintendent.
- [00:00:22.150]And had the opportunity in 2011 to come to the university
- [00:00:25.520]as an Associate Professor of Practice.
- [00:00:29.200]I was promoted to a full Professor of Practice
- [00:00:31.840]just a couple years ago
- [00:00:33.750]and have enjoyed that experience and opportunity
- [00:00:38.500]to work with the next generation
- [00:00:41.400]of principals and superintendents
- [00:00:42.930]that are going to be serving our schools.
- [00:00:46.630]I want to know who you are and kinda what makes you tick,
- [00:00:50.930]and so lots of different discussion, interaction,
- [00:00:55.740]ways to create that dialogue and create some opportunities
- [00:01:00.360]to get to know people.
- [00:01:03.190]When I was a high school principal,
- [00:01:04.590]I told my students it's pretty easy.
- [00:01:09.110]The secret of success probably isn't a great secret.
- [00:01:12.720]Come every day, do your best,
- [00:01:14.600]and you're probably gonna be a success.
- [00:01:16.430]I think the same is true for graduate students.
- [00:01:19.840]Invest in your program, study, commit to the long haul,
- [00:01:24.450]doing the job and doing it well, and you're gonna be okay,
- [00:01:28.320]you're gonna succeed.
- [00:01:31.030]We've really been able to create the kind of program
- [00:01:34.810]of study that connects students
- [00:01:38.950]with the content and equips them to make an application
- [00:01:43.740]of the concepts, the best practices,
- [00:01:46.720]and the benefits of research.
- [00:01:48.400]I think we've created an environment
- [00:01:50.610]where we can make that application
- [00:01:52.980]so that they can be effective in the schools
- [00:01:55.050]that they work in.
- [00:01:57.770]Nebraskans have figured out something that's unique
- [00:02:02.130]and that identity with something
- [00:02:05.020]that's bigger than yourself in an institution
- [00:02:08.190]and an organization that really is committed to excellence.
- [00:02:11.490]That's maybe part of the explanation
- [00:02:14.410]of why there's no place like Nebraska.
