“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve in this new role and excited for all the good work Clarkson College and the community will continue to provide for the next 135 years,” Nebel said in a Clarkson College news release. “Clarkson College is an amazing institution, made up of the best students, faculty, staff, and alumni. There’s no place I’d rather be.” Dr. Nebel and her husband, Mike, have lived in the Omaha area for 23 years. The Nebel family have made the Midwest their home in nearby rural Iowa raising their now grown children, son Tye and daughter Ryley.
