The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is recognized as a Carnegie Engaged Campus, an honor that reflects its deep commitment to serving Nebraskans. Whether it is supporting sustainable agriculture, helping communities adapt to change or providing opportunities for students to thrive, the university aims to improve the lives of all the state's nearly 2 million residents.
In a new video message, leaders from the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources discuss how the land-grant university is building partnerships across the state and using its resources and expertise to co-create solutions that matter.
“UNL has an amazing foundation of engagement, and in Nebraska Extension, we have a powerful engine to drive our efforts even further,” said Mike Boehm, NU vice president and Harlan Vice Chancellor for IANR. “This work embodies the spirit of Nebraskans. We are tight-knit and highly connected. We are creative and tenacious. We have a culture of neighbors helping neighbors. Together, we are poised to co-create a university system that fulfills the land-grant mission in a way that is truly unique to who and where we are.”
