Curriculum Coordinating Committee

Committee members, from left: Ellen Paparozzi, Brian Waters, Dennis McCallister, Don Lee, Stephen Mason, Zac Reicher.

The Department of Agronomy & Horticulture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a long-standing tradition of teaching excellence. As with most endeavors, curriculum is not static and it's important to continuously assess instruction and adapt the department's curriculum to address current issues and advances in the field. To that end, the Department has reconfigured one large curriculum committee into focused teams.

Each team will have three members who have a vested interest in the team's role. The chairs from the teams will comprise a Curriculum Coordinating Committee to assure smooth communication between the teams. The Curriculum Coordinating Committee meets on a monthly basis during the academic year.

Members of the Curriculum Coordinating Team are: Steve Mason, Ellen Paparozzi, Don Lee, Dennis McCallister, Brian Waters, Zac Reicher, and alternating members of the Distance Education Subcommittee. The Curriculum Subcommittees and members are as follows:

Development (Undergraduate) Steve Mason, chair Martha Mamo Stacy Adams	Collaboration Ellen Paparozzi, chair John Guretzky Jeff Mower
Instructional Don Lee, chair Charles Francis Paul Staswick	Distance Education Deana Namuth Covert Richard Ferguson Steve Baenziger (No chair yet)
Assessment Dennis McCallister,chair Steve Rodie Jim Stubbendieck	Graduate Mark Lagrimini, chair Tom Hoegemeyer Charles Wortmann	At-Large Representative Zac Reicher, Turf Professor

Please contact Steve Mason, chair of the Development sub-committee (for undergraduate courses) or Mark Lagrimini, chair of the Graduate sub-committee (for graduate courses) to initiate a curriculum addition, revision, or deletion. Curriculum proposals & updates may also be sent to Kathy Schindler, office supervisor in 279 Plant Sciences Hall, for addition to the department's Curriculum Coordinating Committee's agenda. Kathy will track the proposal or update in a spreadsheet, and then forward it to the appropriate committee. She will also forward any proposal, updates or deletions to Dennis McCallister, teaching coordinator and committee chair, and to Roch Gaussoin, Agronomy & Horticulture Department Head.

The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CASNR) Curriculum Committee also has a Cover Sheet and Request for Curriculum Action Form A. Kathy will also assist professors & lecturers with completing these forms and forwarding them to the CASNR curriculum staff.
