Global Nebraska Annual Report

Engaging the World at Nebraska

International Student Parade and Flags

I continue to be encouraged by, and proud of, the perseverance of our UNL students, faculty, and staff.

Our efforts to expand our global impact through the hard work of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, local community, and international partners have not slowed, and we are eager to share some of this year’s highlights.

I hope you will see that all of these efforts align as we continue to advance our mission of education, research and engagement to shape the world around us, both locally and globally. I’m proud to say that Nebraska has found and continued to build on our momentum in strengthening global engagement and education. 

There is more work ahead as we continue to elevate international education at UNL, but, with your support, we are excited to continue our momentum into the next year as we move forward, together.
