Water, Climate, and Health Programs

Jesse Bell, Ph.D. is the Director of the Water, Climate and Health Program based in the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health.  This program brings together experts from the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI) at the University of Nebraska.  It was created in 2020 through a $5 million gift commitment made by UNMC alumna Anne Hubbard, M.D., through the Claire M. Hubbard Foundation.
 
Jesse grew up in Bloomfield, NE located in the northeast area where he loved to fish and hunt and be out in nature.  In 2018 UNMC recruited him for an associate professor role, his colleagues said, “You could go to a lot of places, Why Nebraska?  The answer was easy, who was lured back to the Cornhusker state from Atlanta, where he created the first join research position between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

President's Message

Lincoln East Rotary Club

Meeting in Person

The Lincoln East Board of Directors voted on 4/21/21 to return to in person meetings in one of Val’s private meeting rooms with catering.  Goodness, this is exciting.  It will be wonderful to see everyone in person again.  The Lancaster County Health Department Risk Dial has been lowered to yellow so those of us who are vaccinated (the majority of us) won’t even have to stay 6 feet apart though we will need to continue to wear masks.  We’ll be polling members on the decision to go hybrid or not.  And, we’ll be polling members on their choice of menu item for our box lunches.
 
Happy Dollars for Polio Plus 

Reminder our goal for 2020-2021 is:  $1800.00

We have reached $1700.00 so far in our Polio Plus goal.  Let's try to go beyond the $1800.00.  Keep it up!

Since we are doing our meetings virtually you can send your Polio Plus dollars in a check made out to Lincoln East Rotary and send it to our Treasurer, Dick Cumming, 2312 S. 75th Street, Lincoln, NE 68506.
