Dr. Hensel, who has served as executive officer for the Council on Undergraduate Research in Washington, D.C., since 2004, is the principal investigator on three National Science Foundation grants to assist four-year and community colleges in developing undergraduate research. In addition, she is the co-editor of two national journals — “Undergraduate Research at Community Colleges” and “Transformative Research at Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions.”
Before becoming executive officer for the Council on Undergraduate Research, Dr. Hensel served as president of the University of Maine at Presque Isle from 1999-2004; provost of the University of Maine at Farmington, 1995-99; and dean of the College of Education, University of Maine at Farmington, 1992-1995. She has held faculty positions at the University of Redlands and the University of Toledo. Her doctorate is in early childhood education from the University of Georgia, and she holds master’s degrees in theater and early childhood education. She earned a bachelor’s degree in theater from San Francisco State University.
The Friday ceremonies will open with the National Anthem, performed by graduating senior Jillian Parker of Goodland, Kan. Sarah Nordhues of Kearney will give the senior class reflections. UNK Chancellor Douglas Kristensen will give the welcome, and Bob Whitehouse of Papillion, chair of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, will give greetings on behalf of the board.
