- [00:00:03.520]Welcome back to Catch Up with Chuck
- [00:00:05.170]from the Rural Futures Institute
- [00:00:06.930]at the University of Nebraska.
- [00:00:08.790]I'm Chuck Schroeder I'm the Executive Director
- [00:00:10.750]of the Rural Futures Institute
- [00:00:12.730]and I'm delighted to say that with me today
- [00:00:15.560]is Dr. Tiffany Heng Moss who is serving as the Interim Dean
- [00:00:20.730]of the College of Agricultural Sciences
- [00:00:22.740]and Natural Resources
- [00:00:24.090]at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
- [00:00:27.460]That's a long title.
- [00:00:28.932]That is a long title, yes.
- [00:00:30.830]Listen as we've shared before,
- [00:00:32.350]our mission at the Rural Futures Institute
- [00:00:34.970]is to harness the intellectual energy
- [00:00:37.940]of the University of Nebraska and its many partners
- [00:00:41.160]across sectors in order to create a positive impact
- [00:00:45.570]on humankind.
- [00:00:47.920]That's a big mission.
- [00:00:49.220]Well central to that impact clearly is preparing
- [00:00:53.310]the next generation of business and civic leaders
- [00:00:56.430]in rural communities that will be our educators,
- [00:01:00.520]our healthcare professionals, other leaders in the community
- [00:01:03.640]but by the way who can be successful in a world that
- [00:01:08.420]is unlike the one we have today and largely unpredictable.
- [00:01:12.790]So for some time we've wanted to get you all acquainted
- [00:01:17.230]with Tiffany Heng moss who is serving in this role
- [00:01:20.590]as Interim Dean but Tiffany is an education leader
- [00:01:24.870]on the UNL campus whose creative and intellectual energy
- [00:01:29.010]we certainly have grown to admire
- [00:01:31.110]at the Rural Futures Institute and we know
- [00:01:33.790]from our conversations with her that
- [00:01:35.630]Tiffany gets up every morning really thinking about
- [00:01:39.980]how we can change the educational enterprise at UNL,
- [00:01:44.920]within Cashner but certainly at UNL wide to prepare students
- [00:01:49.550]for that changing world in their windshield.
- [00:01:53.440]So Tiffany welcome, we're glad to have you here.
- [00:01:55.870]Well Chuck thank you for the opportunity.
- [00:01:58.060]It's exciting to be able to come share with you
- [00:01:59.910]some of the exciting initiatives that are going on
- [00:02:03.020]here in the college as well as some of the future things
- [00:02:07.380]that we hope to be able to push for.
- [00:02:09.140]As you know the college is now in its 145th year
- [00:02:13.090]and we have a remarkable foundation to build upon
- [00:02:16.320]and we are focused on continuing to transform
- [00:02:19.120]the lives of our students here in Nebraska
- [00:02:21.510]and around the world.
- [00:02:23.080]Well listen what we know is of interest
- [00:02:25.810]to the folks who watch the show is okay
- [00:02:28.700]they see Dr. Tiffany Heng Moss, a luminary leader
- [00:02:33.070]at the University of Nebraska.
- [00:02:35.403]Let's help folks get to know you because I know
- [00:02:39.340]your family and your background created a foundation
- [00:02:43.740]for this passion you have for education.
- [00:02:46.380]So help folks know a little bit more about this.
- [00:02:48.330]Sure, well I'm originally from Nebraska
- [00:02:52.650]so I'm from a very small town called Talmadge Nebraska
- [00:02:56.940]most don't necessarily know where that is
- [00:02:59.010]but in southeast Nebraska about less than a 100 people
- [00:03:02.490]I always say on a good day is the population of Talmadge
- [00:03:06.440]but that background was instrumental in helping me
- [00:03:10.070]think about ultimately the career pathways
- [00:03:12.900]that I wanted to pursue but I have to admit
- [00:03:16.110]that when I started my educational pathway after high school
- [00:03:19.680]I didn't exactly know what I wanted to do
- [00:03:22.120]and so I was one of these students that navigated that space
- [00:03:26.750]by having several different majors and at the time
- [00:03:30.016]I remember talking through with my parents about
- [00:03:32.710]I was going on my fourth major change
- [00:03:34.930]and my parents like this is not good to me.
- [00:03:37.480]They thought maybe their kid was a little weird.
- [00:03:39.340]Right you're above average but not in a good way
- [00:03:42.370]at this point in time but what really helped me
- [00:03:46.050]to unleash my passion and figure out where my space was at
- [00:03:51.480]was an opportunity in the research side
- [00:03:53.670]and so I had explored many different degree programs
- [00:03:57.065]ultimately ended up pursuing an opportunity
- [00:04:00.230]to work in a research lab on plant systems
- [00:04:03.020]and that unleashed my passion for research and discovery
- [00:04:07.870]and at that point in time I knew focus in plants systems
- [00:04:11.500]was an area that I wanted to pursue.
- [00:04:13.380]Ended up getting my undergraduate program and at that point
- [00:04:16.280]realized that I needed more education
- [00:04:18.570]because I was very committed to advancing
- [00:04:22.840]what we were doing in the plant systems area
- [00:04:25.950]and again I wanted to learn more and my curiosity
- [00:04:29.320]was driving me and so I accepted an opportunity
- [00:04:32.420]to work on a Master's program
- [00:04:34.850]and this area was in entomology and I have to tell you that
- [00:04:38.280]at the time I did not recognize the importance of insects.
- [00:04:42.640]In fact I hadn't really thought about them
- [00:04:44.840]but what I knew is that the plant system
- [00:04:46.801]that I was working on,
- [00:04:48.750]they were causing problems to that plant system
- [00:04:51.080]and it was a creative way for me to explore
- [00:04:54.430]how plants defend themselves from different biotic stressors
- [00:04:57.910]and the stressor happened to be the insect
- [00:05:00.290]so long story short I ended up finishing my Master's degree,
- [00:05:04.800]pursuing my PhD and at that point in time
- [00:05:08.400]I was pretty much focused that I wanted
- [00:05:10.180]an industry career pathway
- [00:05:12.350]and I wanted to still stay focused
- [00:05:13.960]on research and discovery but along the way
- [00:05:17.440]I had an opportunity to teach a course
- [00:05:20.280]and this allowed me to discover the passion
- [00:05:24.020]that I had for teaching.
- [00:05:24.960]At the end of this semester I was like I want more,
- [00:05:27.230]I want more, I want to be able to interact with the students
- [00:05:30.170]in a more meaningful way and that changed my trajectory
- [00:05:34.260]so I went from wanting to be solely research and discovery
- [00:05:37.230]to making sure that the position that I pursued
- [00:05:39.830]upon graduation would include some aspect
- [00:05:42.650]to connect with students through advising, formal teaching
- [00:05:46.490]as well in the site of experiential learning and that
- [00:05:49.630]and so I've been so very fortunate in my career
- [00:05:52.330]to have great mentors and have tremendous opportunities
- [00:05:55.370]and so when I talk to students I say you know
- [00:05:58.620]sometimes we don't exactly know where we're gonna end up
- [00:06:01.200]but push yourself to try new things.
- [00:06:04.890]Something that you think that you may not like
- [00:06:06.830]actually try it that was the case for me
- [00:06:09.200]and you might discover that that really is
- [00:06:11.160]where your passion is and at the same front
- [00:06:13.570]letting them know that the systems that we work in
- [00:06:16.650]in agriculture, food systems, energy systems
- [00:06:19.920]water systems, the landscape and how that impacts people
- [00:06:23.380]in our global society, I can't think of
- [00:06:25.810]a more impactful career area to be involved in
- [00:06:29.040]and so again I'm happy to be here,
- [00:06:31.490]happy to have had the opportunity to be here
- [00:06:33.490]at the University of Nebraska and now
- [00:06:35.810]the privilege to serve in the role as our Interim Dean.
- [00:06:38.850]Well those of us that know you and know your capacity
- [00:06:41.680]for engaging people from a variety of backgrounds
- [00:06:45.440]around the globe, across age, realms all that sort of thing
- [00:06:50.360]we think would have been a terrible loss
- [00:06:51.930]if we had locked your lab somewhere
- [00:06:53.940]but isn't that the magic of education?
- [00:06:55.482]Yes it is.
- [00:06:56.487]It is that exploring and it's not just a matter of
- [00:07:00.173]knowing when you're 16, 17, 18 years old
- [00:07:05.240]just exactly where you want to go.
- [00:07:07.330]It's so important to have that opportunity to explore.
- [00:07:10.250]Exactly.
- [00:07:11.083]So you were a 4her.
- [00:07:12.640]I was a 4her.
- [00:07:14.010]Again a lot of our parents are thinking about
- [00:07:19.030]experiences for their kiddos as they grow up
- [00:07:21.470]and that was important for you too.
- [00:07:23.088]Yes, definitely. Part of that.
- [00:07:25.010]Well listen you talked about Casner as we call it,
- [00:07:28.460]the College of Agricultural Sciences Natural Resources
- [00:07:30.770]145 years old.
- [00:07:32.860]It's gone through a lot of changes
- [00:07:34.470]since I matriculated there 43 or four or five years ago
- [00:07:38.610]however long it was.
- [00:07:40.144]Give us a picture of Casner today because I know that
- [00:07:45.040]you have been a part of its constant reshape
- [00:07:48.720]to reflect and change.
- [00:07:51.450]As I mentioned we have a wonderful foundation.
- [00:07:55.100]Dr. Waller was an inspiring leader
- [00:07:58.740]really helped to set the course on the positive trajectory
- [00:08:02.480]over the years with our increase enrollments,
- [00:08:04.630]innovative programming and now what we're looking to do
- [00:08:07.580]is take it to the next level
- [00:08:09.040]and some of the strategic focus areas
- [00:08:11.290]that we are paying very close attention to is number one,
- [00:08:14.214]thinking about holistic student development and so
- [00:08:17.990]really what we want to do is leverage
- [00:08:20.510]all of those opportunities for our students
- [00:08:23.100]to best prepare them to be those individuals,
- [00:08:27.102]going like to careers they're going to solve
- [00:08:28.560]the grand challenges related to our food, energy, water
- [00:08:31.940]and landscape systems and so we're being very intentional
- [00:08:34.950]about thinking about linking curricular with co-curricular
- [00:08:38.910]with experiential learning.
- [00:08:40.340]So the Engler program is a wonderful example
- [00:08:43.770]on the entrepreneurship side about
- [00:08:45.880]how we're leveraging expertise here on our campus,
- [00:08:49.550]innovation in connecting with our Nebraska communities
- [00:08:53.410]and our global society really to provide our students
- [00:08:56.380]with opportunities beyond what they might be experiencing
- [00:08:59.230]if they were pursuing a degree in Animal Science,
- [00:09:01.790]Agronomy, Horticulture, School of Natural Resources,
- [00:09:05.120]Agribusiness.
- [00:09:06.430]We also are focusing on leveraging our partnerships.
- [00:09:08.875]In Nebraska we are in a phenomenal position
- [00:09:12.380]to be able to leverage partnerships with public/private
- [00:09:16.140]global partnerships our educational system and so in fact
- [00:09:20.290]we've been traveling the state this past year,
- [00:09:23.270]I've been doing that with Vice Chancellor Bane.
- [00:09:25.300]Reaching out to our two-year partner institutions,
- [00:09:28.610]NCTA which is part of the University of Nebraska.
- [00:09:32.960]Exactly as well as our four-year partners
- [00:09:36.020]and really what we're trying to do is identify
- [00:09:38.220]what are our unique strengths that each institution has,
- [00:09:41.680]how do we collectively leverage those
- [00:09:43.660]because what we want to do is make sure that
- [00:09:45.130]we are serving the needs of our Nebraska youth
- [00:09:47.660]as well as how do we position Nebraska
- [00:09:50.104]to be a opportunity and to be on the radar screen
- [00:09:55.220]and a destination for out-of-state students
- [00:09:57.520]as well as thinking globally also.
- [00:09:59.920]So that's another key area.
- [00:10:02.168]We also were thinking a lot about graduate education too
- [00:10:05.460]in this space and so
- [00:10:06.848]we're collectively coming together as a faculty,
- [00:10:09.864]a community of scholars of our graduate students
- [00:10:13.970]as well as employers of our students to think about
- [00:10:16.480]how do we push the boundaries
- [00:10:18.090]of traditional graduate education to think about
- [00:10:20.670]more diverse pathways.
- [00:10:22.900]How do we link professional development opportunities
- [00:10:25.152]for our graduate students and how do we make sure that
- [00:10:28.440]we have accessibility to students all over the world
- [00:10:31.150]that are interested in the areas
- [00:10:33.120]that are where the sweet spot is here for the faculty
- [00:10:36.120]in the University of Nebraska.
- [00:10:37.980]Well listen I've watched you engage
- [00:10:40.040]with the angular students who we most often
- [00:10:43.530]cross paths with.
- [00:10:44.430]See the light come on for them in that
- [00:10:46.890]but in that process of connecting across departmental lines,
- [00:10:50.810]discipline lines, institutional lines in many cases
- [00:10:54.400]and I know that's been a big part of your thinking.
- [00:10:56.950]I want to have you talk just a little bit more
- [00:10:59.377]because I don't want to threaten your job
- [00:11:03.861](laughs)
- [00:11:04.694]but I've heard Tiffany talk a little bit about
- [00:11:09.030]embrace this whole notion of the higher education
- [00:11:12.630]institution in the future maybe a place where
- [00:11:15.780]that deppartmental lines and and campus lines
- [00:11:19.630]and institutional lines are blurred much more
- [00:11:22.670]than they are today and you've talked about
- [00:11:26.010]creating that holistic experience.
- [00:11:27.898]Say a little bit more about that because I think
- [00:11:30.730]it's something that quite honestly
- [00:11:35.970]it's a fairly thin layer of folks like you
- [00:11:38.310]in higher education today that really
- [00:11:39.840]are embracing that notion but it could be critical
- [00:11:43.920]to our creating those genuine real-world problems.
- [00:11:48.200]So what we need to think again about
- [00:11:49.990]is this holistic interdisciplinary even we think about
- [00:11:54.620]going beyond to extend to transdisciplinary,
- [00:11:57.130]we're bringing the social sciences in as part of that,
- [00:12:00.710]a very important piece of how we think about
- [00:12:02.778]preparing our next generation of students and so
- [00:12:05.620]some of the ways that we're doing that
- [00:12:07.320]is in our introductory course that we do
- [00:12:09.700]for all Casner students.
- [00:12:11.410]We've shifted away from being more on
- [00:12:13.780]a content focus area to science and decision-making
- [00:12:17.640]and so how do you think holistically
- [00:12:19.481]about an issue around water and what does that look like
- [00:12:23.080]from the science lens, what does that look like
- [00:12:25.650]from your beliefs as an individual, the ethics behind it
- [00:12:29.420]as well as the economic driver and the social aspect of that
- [00:12:33.210]and so we're challenging our students
- [00:12:34.887]to really look through the different lenses
- [00:12:36.915]and to be able to defend their position on something
- [00:12:40.295]by taking into account what is the science behind that
- [00:12:44.370]and let that be the driver in that decision-making.
- [00:12:46.720]So that would be one example of what we're doing.
- [00:12:48.970]We're also on the other end of the spectrum
- [00:12:50.812]thinking about interdisciplinary capstone experiences
- [00:12:54.470]and so we might have a student that is interested
- [00:12:57.140]in animal systems well then how does that link up
- [00:13:00.010]with a student that's interested with plant systems?
- [00:13:02.770]What about our natural resources
- [00:13:04.750]What about the economic side of that?
- [00:13:07.950]What about the mechanization aspect and so
- [00:13:10.320]we want to bring these students together holistically
- [00:13:12.910]where we talk about these grand challenges
- [00:13:15.060]and they each bring unique perspectives to that discussion
- [00:13:18.696]and we can learn from that but really
- [00:13:20.900]when we talk about grand challenges
- [00:13:22.860]it's not going to be solved by in my case an entomologist
- [00:13:26.200]working independently about something but it's gonna be
- [00:13:28.540]a collection of critical thinkers and those individuals
- [00:13:33.620]that look outside of the box and think creatively
- [00:13:36.030]to solving these different types of solutions
- [00:13:38.030]and I can't think of a better place for us to start that
- [00:13:40.820]than in our college classrooms.
- [00:13:42.390]So that would be another example of what we're doing.
- [00:13:44.770]The final thing I would lift up
- [00:13:46.010]which I'm really excited about is this upcoming fall
- [00:13:49.210]we're gonna be launching our very first upper class
- [00:13:52.230]learning community and again it's building on
- [00:13:54.710]the same things that we've talked about
- [00:13:56.570]and our focus is on water
- [00:13:58.000]and so we're linking with the Water For Food Institute.
- [00:14:01.540]In this case we want to extend beyond Casner
- [00:14:03.740]so we want to bring students from engineering,
- [00:14:05.930]we want to bring students from journalism,
- [00:14:07.881]we want to bring students from Arts and Sciences
- [00:14:10.870]particularly the social science from the business community
- [00:14:14.630]to think about issues around water and so
- [00:14:17.780]our students will go through
- [00:14:18.960]these different experience or learning opportunities,
- [00:14:21.840]discussions, engaging with global leaders
- [00:14:24.820]through the platform of water for food and then ultimately
- [00:14:28.050]they will go on in education abroad program
- [00:14:29.911]likely to Rwanda which we already have connections
- [00:14:33.200]to explore water quality, water quantity
- [00:14:36.870]all of those different aspects holistically
- [00:14:39.219]from a team-oriented perspective that again
- [00:14:42.830]is bringing now stretching beyond Casner
- [00:14:45.200]but these different areas of expertise.
- [00:14:47.190]So that gives you some ideas about
- [00:14:48.758]where we want to take this.
- [00:14:50.700]Again knowing that we have our disciplinary pathways
- [00:14:54.120]and that is excellent but also recognizing
- [00:14:56.350]that we need more opportunities
- [00:14:57.870]to bring those disciplinary pathways together
- [00:15:00.310]at the intersection of this food, energy, water systems.
- [00:15:04.110]I just think it's so critical for folks in our audience
- [00:15:06.392]to understand your thinking in that direction.
- [00:15:10.720]One of my favorite classic examples is Shaw's and we
- [00:15:15.480]at Arizona State who challenges his classes
- [00:15:20.090]to answer the question what happens to Phoenix
- [00:15:22.400]when there is no water.
- [00:15:23.780]Well is that an engineering question,
- [00:15:25.610]is it a theological question and it's folks like you
- [00:15:30.810]that are going to create folks
- [00:15:33.100]coming out of these institutions that can think in that way
- [00:15:36.569]and it's just so critically important.
- [00:15:38.170]Well listen here at the Rural Futures Institute
- [00:15:41.950]we launched about six years ago if I'm counting correctly
- [00:15:46.590]our rural serviceship program where we connect
- [00:15:49.507]high capacity students with communities to go out
- [00:15:52.820]and solve real-world problems and
- [00:15:55.820]I just was in McCook Nebraska this week
- [00:15:58.812]where we've had actually two sets of students
- [00:16:02.820]we're gonna have five students there this summer.
- [00:16:04.950]It's been a transformational experience for students.
- [00:16:08.280]One of our service ship students
- [00:16:10.030]is now their Director of Economic Development.
- [00:16:13.361]Hen his wife live there, getting ready to have
- [00:16:16.300]their first child and so we know it's worked.
- [00:16:19.960]I know that this whole area of service-learning
- [00:16:23.050]has been of real interest to you.
- [00:16:25.090]Talk a little bit about how you see that
- [00:16:28.040]as part of this broad philosophy of yours
- [00:16:30.840]and how it might be useful.
- [00:16:32.700]Definitely that's a component
- [00:16:34.010]of a holistic student development because you're linking
- [00:16:37.320]what the students are learning through their courses
- [00:16:39.560]whether that be face to face, online with opportunities
- [00:16:42.599]for them to put that in practice,
- [00:16:44.710]for them to have community engagement.
- [00:16:47.660]Thinking again from this holistic standpoint
- [00:16:50.640]and the impact that they can have and so
- [00:16:52.630]I very much am a big proponent of service-learning.
- [00:16:55.580]I'm excited that we already have some initiatives underway.
- [00:16:59.000]We have students right now that are out there
- [00:17:01.110]committing their time their talent and their passion
- [00:17:03.489]to helping our Nebraska communities but what I hope to do
- [00:17:07.270]in the upcoming months is to work closer with RFI as well as
- [00:17:10.800]our faculty and our colleges to figure out
- [00:17:12.730]how do we infuse more service-learning intentionally
- [00:17:15.581]into our programs because we know
- [00:17:18.040]it aligns with the learning outcomes
- [00:17:19.470]that we hope that our students achieve
- [00:17:21.580]and then the other big piece
- [00:17:23.370]that I'm also very much interested in is
- [00:17:25.260]how do we think from this global framework
- [00:17:27.950]and so we are a global college.
- [00:17:29.870]We are a community of global learners and I think that
- [00:17:32.930]that's so incredibly important
- [00:17:34.870]because these grand challenges are not going to be solved
- [00:17:37.640]by an individual from Nebraska only
- [00:17:39.860]or it's not going to be a student that we have in Rwanda
- [00:17:42.470]that goes back but collectively it's these individuals
- [00:17:45.090]working together to solve these grand challenges
- [00:17:47.727]and again it's the right time to be doing it
- [00:17:50.470]in our college classrooms and that engagement
- [00:17:52.810]but how do we also think about service shift
- [00:17:55.170]through the lens of not only Nebraska communities
- [00:17:58.640]but what do Nebraska communities have in common
- [00:18:01.070]with let's say Rwandan communities
- [00:18:03.140]and how do we think about empowering our students
- [00:18:06.070]to connect with and engage youth
- [00:18:08.400]in becoming interested in career pathways
- [00:18:11.150]in agricultural natural resource systems.
- [00:18:13.470]So really excited to work with RFI
- [00:18:16.300]and look forward to doing some creative brainstorming about
- [00:18:19.227]how we have service-learning that is more infused
- [00:18:23.160]throughout that career to provide our students
- [00:18:25.620]with these types of opportunities.
- [00:18:27.155]Sure.
- [00:18:27.988]Well you've you've talked several times about
- [00:18:29.935]your work with Rwandan program and this whole notion
- [00:18:33.655]of so I've been to Lecok this week and I had the question
- [00:18:39.220]and you hear it all the time.
- [00:18:40.770]Well what you guys have done is you take our brightest
- [00:18:43.390]and best kids and you take them down there
- [00:18:44.890]and you educate them and they go away
- [00:18:46.800]and they never come back.
- [00:18:48.000]Well the truth is we know through the Engler program.
- [00:18:51.820]our serviceship program we have students coming
- [00:18:55.510]from rural communities and coming from urban counties
- [00:18:58.250]that are saying you know what,
- [00:19:00.120]I'm really interested in going to a rural community
- [00:19:03.280]where I can build a business, build my family,
- [00:19:07.700]get involved without where I can make a difference
- [00:19:10.620]but you and which you have supported but also
- [00:19:13.880]have said yeah but you need to have that broader lens
- [00:19:17.940]and by the way have a friend
- [00:19:20.110]when you leave this University in Rwanda, in Zimbabwe
- [00:19:24.910]which we've had and we just know that
- [00:19:28.050]it creates those global thinkers who are acting locally
- [00:19:31.190]but who do see their role in a larger world.
- [00:19:34.740]Exactly. Yeah.
- [00:19:35.930]So listen, one of our core beliefs Tiffany
- [00:19:38.430]at the Rural Futures Institute is that
- [00:19:41.110]leaders are known not necessarily by their title
- [00:19:44.130]but by their vision, by their passion, by their energy,
- [00:19:47.571]by their willingness to draw people together
- [00:19:49.715]in collective action and we think
- [00:19:52.790]you're exactly one of those kinds of leaders
- [00:19:55.330]and we're so delighted to be associated with you.
- [00:19:58.230]Anything you'd like to add before we clock today?
- [00:20:00.520]Other than I just appreciate the opportunity
- [00:20:02.990]to come visit with you and definitely
- [00:20:06.450]partnerships are key to what we do here in the college.
- [00:20:09.330]Partnerships among our academic units, our different centers
- [00:20:13.580]our different programming that we can leverage in that way
- [00:20:16.680]and then thinking about what do partnerships look like
- [00:20:19.260]on the side with our educational systems here in Nebraska
- [00:20:22.780]as well that private sector, or government sector
- [00:20:25.990]and those types of things and so
- [00:20:27.480]that's one of the key things that I live by
- [00:20:29.420]is how do we leverage those partnerships
- [00:20:31.550]to best position our students to have opportunities
- [00:20:34.344]that allow them to pursue their educational pathways
- [00:20:37.532]and position them to be successful
- [00:20:40.100]in what they choose to do next.
- [00:20:41.300]So thanks again for the opportunity to visit with you.
- [00:20:43.970]Well you're a door opener of the first class
- [00:20:46.600]so we're delighted.
- [00:20:47.720]Well listen, we invite you to stay in touch
- [00:20:50.100]with the Rural Futures Institute through Facebook
- [00:20:53.190]and Twitter and Instagram and LinkedIn and our website.
- [00:20:58.250]We would love to hear from you and have you engaged
- [00:21:00.436]in our work and stay with us.
- [00:21:03.520]We'll be back next week with another look at real people
- [00:21:06.670]and real places that demonstrate thriving rural communities,
- [00:21:10.750]our legitimate best choice for worthwhile living.
- [00:21:13.390]Thanks for joining us.
