Congratulations to our recent PhD graduate, Akinbode Okunola on presenting research at two leading agricultural economics conferences!
At the Western Agricultural Economics Association (WAEA) Annual Meeting, the paper "Market Effects of Veterinary Drug Maximum Residue Limits on Global Trade of Beef, Poultry, and Pork" explored how veterinary drug maximum residue limits (MRLs) influence global meat trade, highlighting the dual role of food safety standards as both trade-restricting and trade-enhancing mechanisms. The paper received the Second-Best Graduate Student Paper Award, and he also received travel support from the Department.
At the Agricultural & Applied Economics Association (AAEA) Annual Meeting, the paper "Productivity, Trade, and Nutritional Security in Emerging Economies" examined how productivity growth in domestic agriculture and international trade can help address undernourishment in low-, lower-middle-, and middle-income countries. This paper was also recognized with an AAEA Travel Grant, awarded following a nomination by Department Chair Kate Brooks.
We are proud of these outstanding accomplishments and grateful for the opportunity to support student research and professional development. Congratulations on representing our department at both conferences! by @unlagecon

We had a great time at the first East Campus Discovery Days of the season this past Saturday! Our department, CAP and Buy Fresh Buy Local and enjoyed connecting with families, students, and community members throughout the event.

Discovery Days at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers something for everyone. Explore hands-on science activities, enjoy live music, visit food trucks, shop the farmers market and vendor fair, and stop by the newly renovated UNL Dairy Store for a scoop of ice cream. Visitors can also stroll through the beautiful Backyard Farmer garden and discover all that East Campus has to offer.
Activities are free and family-friendly, with food, crafts, and local products available for purchase. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next Discovery Days event!

Congratulations, Rosalee! 🎉

Rosalee has been awarded the 2026 Family & Friends Recognition Award — marking the 24th time she has received this incredible honor!
The Family & Friends Recognition Awards, organized by Student Life and co-sponsored by the UNL Teaching Council and the UNL Parent & Family Association, celebrate faculty and staff who make a meaningful difference in students’ lives.

These awards give parents, family members, and friends the opportunity to recognize those who have supported, encouraged, and inspired their Husker. They also highlight the powerful impact of strong student–faculty and student–staff connections across campus.

Rosalee’s continued recognition is a true testament to her dedication, care, and commitment to student success. We are so proud and grateful for the positive difference she makes every day! 🌟
