Kansas Board of RegentsWWint Winter Jr.int Winter Jr. wasappointed to theKansas Board of Regentsin June 2021 by Gov. LauraKelly. A fifth-generationresident of Lawrence, hegraduated in 1975 from theUniversity of Kansas wherehe was a varsity footballletterman. He then attendedKU Law School, graduatingfourth in his class in 1978.Winter has been a partner in the Lawrence lawfirm of Stevens & Brand since 1978, serving asmanaging partner from 1995-1999. His law practicehas been varied and has included business andpersonal injury litigation, real estate developmentlaw, bankruptcy, divorce law and estate planning.He began a career in public service when hebecame Douglas County counselor from 19982000. From 1982 to 1992, Winter served in theKansas Senate where he was vice chairman of theWays & Means Committee and chairman of theJudiciary Committee. He also was chairman ofthe Economic Development Committee for theNational Conference of State Legislators. In 1986,he was named by KS Magazine as one of the Top10 legislators in Kansas.While in the Kansas Senate, Winter led the effortto enact a criminal sentencing guidelines system,successfully led the fight against enactment of thedeath penalty, introduced the sexual predator billand gained a reputation as an advocate for neglectedand abused children. In 1990 he received the annualLeadership Award for Outstanding Contributionsto Children from the University of Kansas School ofSocial Welfare. In 1994 he unsuccessfully ran for theRepublican nomination for Kansas attorney general.In 2000, Winter became executive vice presidentand general counsel of Peoples Inc., the Winterfamily bank holding company with 25 branchesin Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico. In 2002 hebecame president and CEO of Peoples Bank inKansas and led the merger of two banks in Kansasand one in New Mexico. When Peoples Inc. wassold on Jan. 1, 2018, it had nearly 40 branches in11 states with nearly 1 billion in assets and nearly1,000 employees.After selling the family business, Winter returnedto part-time law practice in Lawrence. He serveswith many charitable organizations and on severalnonprofit boards. He was a member of the St. JohnParish Counsel and has served in roles as diverse aschairman of the Sexual Abuse Review Board of theCapuchin Franciscan Province of Mid-America anda member of the board of directors of the KansasBanking Commission. He also served as chairmanof Save Kansas Coalition Inc., a nonprofit politicaleducation group that advanced centrist policies andhelped reverse radical tax policies in Kansas.He and his wife, Mary, a former math and religionteacher at St. John School, have three daughters andeight grandchildren.SpeakerHerman “Mogri”Mongrain Lookout,a member of the OsageNation, is the inventorof the official Osageorthography — or alphabetand language database— that is preserving andrevitalizing the Osagelanguage and ensuring thelanguage’s accessibility forHerman “Mogri”generations to come. BeforeMongrain LookoutLookout’s efforts, there wasno standard way of writing the Osage language — itwas a spoken language. When the language wasspelled, it was written the way one heard it.Lookout has dedicated much of his life to learningand preserving the Osage language. Lookout’sgrandparents and parents were all fluent in thelanguage, with Lookout’s father teaching him howto pray in Osage. He also attended classes taught byOsage elders and taught Osage language classes aswell. But long before Lookout was born, use of theOsage language was dwindling. When the Osagein Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas were forced fromtheir native lands to resettle in Oklahoma in the19th and 20th centuries, Osage children were sent toboarding schools that mandated English and forbidusing indigenous languages and spiritual practices.Lookout made it his mission to preserve the Osagelanguage. In 2003, the Osage Tribal Council createdthe Osage Language Program and council memberJerry Shaw hired Lookout to be the programdirector. Without Shaw, Lookout said, there wouldbe no language program.To develop the orthography, Lookout workedwith Osage elders, experts and linguists. Theirwork included listening to recordings of Osageelders to identify the different sounds and soundcombinations of the language. Although someletter sounds are the same or similar to the Englishalphabet, the Osage orthography had to includenew symbols for letter sounds not made in English.The hard work paid off in 2015 when the OsageNation officially adopted Lookout’s 36-characterOsage orthography.Now the backbone of all Osage language educationefforts, the Lookout-developed Osage orthologyis available for all to learn — and even use in texts— through multiple digital platforms, includingGoogle and Apple.Lookout has been honored for his work by manyorganizations, including as a 2012 honoree forthe AARP Oklahoma Indian Elder Honors andan honorary doctorate today from Kansas StateUniversity.Graduate School, Kansas Board of Regents, Speaker7
AwardsUniversity Distinguished ProfessorsEduard Akhunov,professor of plantpathology, specializes inbread wheat genetics anddeveloping new resourcesand tools for improving thisvital crop. In his research,he uses next-generationsequencing technologies,bioinformatics, highEduard Akhunovthroughput phenotyping,molecular genetics andgenome editing to develop germplasm with improveddisease resistance, grain quality and yield potential.Akhunov serves as the director and principalinvestigator of the International Wheat YieldPartnership’s Winter Wheat Breeding InnovationHub, a public-private partnership among nationaland international wheat breeding programs,government organizations and industry that isADavid Yetterprofessor ofmathematics, DavidYetter’s primary area ofresearch has been theapplication of categorytheory to low dimensionaltopology, including knottheory and topologicalquantum field theory, buthe also has published papersin deformation theory,geometry, graph theory, logicand functional analysis.Yetter’s work has been supported by research grantstotaling more than 1.5 million from the NationalScience Foundation. He has received five FacultyDevelopment Awards from K-State to support8Graduate School, Awardsfunded by a grant from the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture National Institute of Food andAgriculture. The partnership’s main goal is totranslate research findings into improved wheatvarieties for U.S. growers.His research group led the development ofmajor open-access technological platforms forcharacterizing wheat genetic diversity and creatinga worldwide catalog of genomic variation inwheat to establish public resources for breedingand genetic applications. The Akhunov lab’s workadvanced understanding of the mechanismsof wheat resistance against a stem rust diseasethat could cause devastating epidemics severelyreducing crop production. This research openednew opportunities for designing resistant wheatvarieties using biotechnology and developingstrategies for predicting the virulence of emergingstrains of rust pathogens. His team leads efforts todeploy the CRISPR genome-editing technologytravel related to professional development. In 2018,Yetter delivered a two-week short course at NanjingAgricultural University in Nanjing, China. Duringspring 2020 he was a research professor with theMathematical Sciences Research Institute.He has given more than 45 talks as an invitedspeaker or presenter and published 47 journalor refereed proceedings articles.
