A note from Interim Vice Chancellor Tiffany Heng-Moss

TIffany Heng-Moss

Dear Colleagues,

As we wrap up the fall semester and look ahead to a new year, I am deeply grateful for the incredible work happening across the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. From major research achievements to meaningful engagement with communities across the state, your efforts continue to demonstrate the strength and relevance of our land-grant mission.

This semester has further highlighted Nebraska’s leadership in agriculture and natural resources. Our faculty and staff are driving discovery in emerging areas such as digital agriculture, water and rangeland resilience, and food system innovation. Our students continue to excel—bringing forward new ideas, serving their communities, and preparing to lead in a rapidly evolving world.

As part of the University of Nebraska’s Odyssey to the Extraordinary, IANR is charting bold new paths in food, water, energy, health, and community. These priorities—reflected in our strategic direction—guide our work and position Nebraska at the forefront of the land-grant system. What happens next in agriculture happens first in Nebraska.

Thank you for your dedication, your creativity, and your commitment to serving Nebraska and the world. I look forward to the progress and partnerships the coming semester will bring.

Sincerely,
Tiffany Heng-Moss
Interim Vice Chancellor, IANR
