University of Nebraska system students, faculty, staff and stakeholders will have the opportunity to meet Dr. Jeffrey P. Gold, the priority candidate for president, ask questions, and hear about his leadership vision during a series of open forums.

Gold

Gold, the current executive vice president and provost of the NU system and chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, was named the priority candidate for the University of Nebraska presidency on March 20, following a national search. As state law requires, he is undergoing a 30-day public vetting period. If, after the vetting period, the NU Board of Regents deems it appropriate, they will bring Gold’s appointment for consideration at a regents meeting.

University community members and the public are encouraged to submit feedback on Gold’s candidacy anytime during the vetting period by visiting nebraska.edu/president-search/feedback.

The forum schedule for Gold follows. All forums are open to all members of the university community, the public, and news media. Individuals are encouraged to attend sessions that best fit their schedule.
