N2025 Strategic Plan
The Staff Conference aligns with the aim: "Prioritize participation and professional development for all Nebraska students, staff, and faculty."
We believe in the power of every person. The most important asset at the University of Nebraska is its people — students, staff, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty. It is critical to provide access to individualized professional development and effective mentorship for all members of the university community
Professional development opportunities integrating inclusive excellence and fostering a culture of participative decision-making enhances the richness of the university experience. A comprehensive approach to professional development will result in a vibrant and supportive climate characterized by excellence in all mission areas of our institution
Meaningful and impactful professional development for all reinforces that every person and every interaction matters.
