Tanzania next stop for mobile UNI graduate Foley
By Lori Merryman
Starting as a UNL graduate in 1966, Jan Poley, now
an employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is
planning a move to Tanzania as part of her work in the
International Training Office.
Poley is now serving as the assistant deputy director
of international training for the USDA's International
Training Office.
Jan Poley
'
Poley said.
BEFORE ANY training takes place in a country,
Poley said her office makes a thorough assessment of what
kind of programs are needed. Included in this assessment
is agriculture, economics, budget and education. After
this evaluation is made, The International Training Office
can then devise a plan of training.
Hie Tanzania project will involve a two to five year
move for Poley and her family. Poley will act as the pro
ject manager in Tanzania. Although she is projecting
the move to be in January, she said they are still awaiting
full approval from both governments for the project.
Looking back, Poley said she originally planned to
attend college for only two years. She said during her
education, she never looked ahead and planned specific
career-oriented goals.
"I'm more oriented towards global kinds of goals,"
she said. "I've always thought people should think about
what kinds of things we can do to make things better
now," she added. .
"I'VE ALWAYS liked to leran and have always been
curious about things," Poley said.
She added, "But you can be in a number of positions
and see things you want to work out better in the world."
She said this is one reason why she never sat down during
college and specifically plotted her career.
"I didn't expect to come to Washington," Poley said,
"then the opportunity came up and it was something that
made sense to me."
"Maybe you could say I'm a fairly high risk taker,"
she said.
While working on her Masters degree, Poley was also
a faculty member at UNL. She was hired as an associate
professor of Agriculture Communications within a week
after she completed graduate school, she said.
Poley had responsibilities in college teaching, research and
extension.
Poley said this dual status allowed her to get to know
the faculty better than if she were just a student. .
Since her move to Washington D.C., Poley has been
back to UNL and Nebraska several times. Poley, who
was born in Nebraska, says she has relatives here and that
she was looking forward to coming back to the state:

Poley, who earned three degrees at UNL, will be in
Lincoln for Masters Week, Wednesday through
Friday. A Nebraska City native, she received her B.S.
in home economics and journalism in 1966, her M.A.
in nutrition in 1971 and her PhD. in education in 1975.
Acting as deputy director of the training office in the
supervisor's absences, Poley manages program operations
and works on program development, planning and
evaluation.
"My job involves a lot of international traveling for
training and education programs for .the Department of
Agriculture," Poley said. .
The International Training Office interacts with de
veloping countries in training them in areas such as agri
culture, nutrition, management and administration,
The 1979-80 UNL Buzz Books are on sale in the North
Lobby of the Union according to Bryan Bredthauer,
advertising manager for this year's publication .
Bredthauer raid 5,000 copies were printed, although
2,800 have already been sold through advanced orders to
fraternities, sororities and residence hall residents.
This year's books were produced by the Tau Kappa
Epsilon fraternity. Bredthauer said the University Program
Council also provided some financial backing for the
project. 1
If the fraternity breaks even, all profits will be donated
to the All-University fund, according to Bredthauer.
Bredthauer said student response was excellent, adding
that only about 15 or 20 students asked that their names
not be in the book.
However, this year there' will be no faculty section.
Bredthauer said an equipment malfunction delayed
putting faculty names in the book. He said publication
would have been held up about three weeks had the
fraternity decided to put the names in.
Bredthauer added that a third to half of the faculty
members had asked that their names not be printed this
year.
The books will sell for one dollar and will be available
at the North desk of the Student Union, as well as in both,
the . Campus Bookstores and the Nebraska Bookstore.'
Although Bredthauer said the books would be available
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, at 3 pjn.
Tuesday, spokesmen from both bookstores and the North
desk said the books had not been delivered.
