OUTSTANDING FACULTY AWARD McCook Community College math instructor Susi Curl was named win-ner of the 2017-18 Dr. Gene A. Budig Outstanding Faculty Award at MCC. Her honor was presented Friday at MCC Commencement Cere-monies. Budig, an MCC graduate, provides a $1,000 award each year to recognize and honor outstanding educators. Her nomination pointed out that “it is rare in education for faculty who teach subjects traditionally difficult for students - such as math -- to be recognized by their students as a “favorite” teacher. For Susi Curl, this is a regular occurrence. “I have had the privilege of working with Susi for most of my career here at McCook and I cannot recall a student whom she had in class who didn’t have wonderful things to say about her,” said a let-ter nominating Curl for the award. “We even had a vice president who decided he needed to brush up on his math skills who took her class a few years ago. What pressure – your boss in class – but true to form, but according to a co-worker, Susi handled this ‘challenging’ student with her typical laid-back, positive style.” According to fellow teachers, Curl’s no-nonsense teaching style has served many students well. She clearly lays out expectations and supports students in reaching their goals. She has been a particular force in the dual credit opportunities MCC has established with McCook High School.

GOOD LIVING TOUR The Good Living Tour is tuning up for another summer of music in rural Nebraska. Kate Smith, Greater Nebraska Program Coordinator for Rabble Mills, says concert-goers will be able to hear bands from across Nebraska. “We’re targeting young people to show them that you don’t have to leave Nebraska to be part of cool bands or cool events,” Smith tells Nebraska Radio Network. “You can do that here.” She says the communities hosting the concerts also get an economic boost. “We spend money in those communities. We stay in those com-munities. We really try to connect with the community members,” she says. Smith says the free, family-friendly concerts often bring in music fans in from neighboring communities. The concert line-ups feature a variety of music. “We have country music and indy rock and hip hop and, like funk and soul, so we try to really bring all the different gen-res to these communities,” Smith says. Each concert features four groups for the afternoon and evening event. The Good Living Tour hits Broken Bow June 9th, Imperial June 23rd, Red Cloud on July 7th, and Norfolk July 20th.

PLAN FOR STATEWIDE ECONOMIC GROWTH A coalition of business leaders from across Nebraska is developing a plan for statewide economic growth. The effort is called Blueprint Ne-braska, which will create a single economic plan for all parts of the state. Lance Fritz, Union Pacific president and CEO, is one of the co-chairs. He says statewide input is needed. “And boiling it down to what’s the state good at, what do we need to be better at, and where do we need to kind of shore up some points of weakness,” Fritz says. Bryan Slone, Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry president, says committees have been working and researchers are starting to analyze data. “We are going to begin the process of mapping out the road tour,” he says. “It’s going to be no small journey to bring Blueprint Nebraska to all these communities, but it’s probably the most important thing that we’re going to do.”
