Caring for Each Other Saturday, February 18, 2023
By Dr. Jennifer McConville, Associate Dean
I had the privilege of helping with a fundraiser for one of our own this past week. Mo Khamouna, NCTA’s Library Specialist, has been with NCTA since 1996. Mo’s family experienced a house fire last December. As a member of our community, both Curtis and NCTA, we want to do all we can to help his family.

With partners, University’s impact goes beyond numbers Tuesday, March 15, 2022
NCTA’s impact $15 million
By Ted Carter, President University of Nebraska System
Many of us know intuitively that our lives are touched in some way by the University of Nebraska.
Maybe you’ve received care at our world-renowned medical center. Maybe you’re a farmer or rancher who’s benefited from the expertise of Nebraska Extension (and programs at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis).
You’ve probably been to a football game and felt the common bond of cheering for the Huskers with your fellow Nebraskans.

NCTA Dean’s Message by Larry Gossen, Ph.D.
When I officially started my first day as the new dean of the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture on June 15, 2020, our nation’s higher education system faced great unknowns.
We knew, however, that NCTA at Curtis was the only campus in the University of Nebraska system operating with in-person classes that summer. Two dozen Veterinary Technician students and their instructors were ready for opening day, also on June 15.

James Lee appreciates the leadership skills he gained as an FFA member at Sutherland High School.
Now, in his second semester as a college freshman in Curtis at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture, the agribusiness major and former Sutherland Sailor is leading the Aggie student body.
