A new dean has been selected to lead at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture.

Ron Rosati, the provost of Southeast Missouri State University, will take over the position this summer. He was selected over three other finalists.

Rosati replaces Weldon Sleight, who retired in December.

NCTA is a two-year college offering certain degrees in agriculture fields. The campus in Curtis includes a livestock laboratory.

The University of Nebraska Board of Regents must approval Rosati's appointment.
