On Friday, I had the honor of addressing the University of Nebraska Board of Regents to discuss the future of our great institution. Together, we are embarking on an Odyssey to the Extraordinary—a journey powered by innovation, collaboration, and a shared commitment to the people of Nebraska.   Our bold strategic plan is rooted in five foundational pillars: Teaching and Learning, Research and Creative Activity, Partnerships and Engagement, Culture and Environment, and Stewardship and Effectiveness. These guideposts will drive us toward new heights of academic excellence, community impact, and economic growth.   Already, we’ve made great strides: • Achieving $617M in research expenditures, ranking NU among top institutions nationally. • Expanding our Presidential Scholars program to retain Nebraska’s brightest students. • Launching key initiatives like the Infectious Diseases Air Transport Training Facility, enhancing NU’s global leadership.   This is just the beginning. The ripples of our work are already creating far-reaching impacts across the state and beyond. Together, we will continue building a university that inspires, uplifts, and drives extraordinary progress for all. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gRm_ZWpC
