- [00:00:00.210](bright music)
- [00:00:05.370]My name's Nick Pace,
- [00:00:06.560]and it's my privilege to serve as the chair
- [00:00:09.590]of Educational Administration
- [00:00:10.940]here at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
- [00:00:12.810]I'm a former social studies teacher, former principal,
- [00:00:16.170]former mental health social worker.
- [00:00:18.670]One of the things that has really been valuable to me
- [00:00:21.400]is how all of those experiences
- [00:00:23.200]kinda stack together to inform the way I see the world
- [00:00:27.900]and the way I work with students,
- [00:00:29.420]and the way I work with faculty and others.
- [00:00:32.560]Everybody has a story, everybody has growth experiences,
- [00:00:37.860]and where they're from, race, class,
- [00:00:42.070]ethnicity, immigration, language, sexual orientation,
- [00:00:45.210]all those things along with their education
- [00:00:48.220]work to have us be who we are.
- [00:00:50.723]And that process is really interesting,
- [00:00:53.050]I think a big, important part of education.
- [00:00:58.460]When I interviewed I was struck by the way
- [00:01:00.490]students talked about what the faculty has meant to them
- [00:01:04.680]and the kinds of learning experiences
- [00:01:06.380]that the faculty has provided.
- [00:01:07.950]The second thing that was really intriguing to me
- [00:01:10.730]and appealing was the way the faculty
- [00:01:13.100]talked about each other,
- [00:01:14.640]and their mutual respect for the research
- [00:01:17.863]that is done in the department,
- [00:01:20.150]the expertise, the different backgrounds.
- [00:01:24.010]This is an amazing, amazing team.
- [00:01:28.880]Our faculty are really experts
- [00:01:31.374]in leveraging distance education technology
- [00:01:34.600]to form learning communities.
- [00:01:36.640]Our students have the chance to build
- [00:01:39.760]meaningful relationships and networks
- [00:01:42.490]with people through that online community
- [00:01:45.010]from coast to coast,
- [00:01:45.930]and in some cases, beyond the United States.
- [00:01:51.030]The best students are students
- [00:01:53.400]who have a passion for learning, a passion for growth.
- [00:01:56.610]They have a zest for learning new things.
- [00:02:00.760]They're intellectually curious.
- [00:02:03.200]They're resourceful, they're tenacious,
- [00:02:06.475]and they're coachable.
- [00:02:10.770]First class people, passionate,
- [00:02:13.100]very committed to their work.
- [00:02:15.870]Open, genuine, welcoming,
- [00:02:19.560]just a terrific, a terrific environment.
