Kim Clark, a former dairy extension educator at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) since 2015, began her tenure at Concordia as assistant professor of agricultural science in August 2021. Bringing nearly 15 years of agricultural industry experience to Concordia, Clark teaches the majority of the agricultural science program courses.
Clark earned her master's degree in agriculture from UNL in 2009, majoring in animal science and agriculture leadership. She also earned her bachelor’s degree from UNL, majoring in animal science.

"Utilizing my education, experience, leadership and networks, I will be able to facilitate learning and building the agriculture program at Concordia,” Clark says. "The relationships and networks I have gained over the last decade will be beneficial for both the program and the university.”
