Sciences. He is also serving as Acting Associate Dean of Academic Affairs in the College of Education

and Human Sciences. A member of the UNL faculty since 1996, Dr. Carr previously had faculty

appointments at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Minnesota. He earned

his M.S. in Food Science and Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Arizona. His research

focuses on cholesterol transport in the body and how dietary factors influence cardiovascular and

metabolic diseases. He has published over 60 research articles, three textbooks, nine book chapters for

textbooks, and numerous magazine and newspaper articles on diet and health issues. Dr. Carr has received

several research and teaching awards, including the prestigious Donald and Mary Lee Swanson Award for

Excellence in Teaching in 2004 and the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Graduate Education in 2010. He

has lectured on diet and health issues throughout the U.S. and in Europe, Asia, and South America. Dr.

Carr has been a consultant to the World Health Organization and private industry, and serves on the
