Human Resources has added a director of organizational development to better support University of Nebraska–Lincoln employee needs.

Through a restructuring within Business and Finance, Celeste Spier has been named director of organizational development. Spier had served in a similar role within University Operations since October 2021.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is the state’s best education-based employer and one of the best overall, according to a newly published list compiled by Forbes and Statista.

Announced Aug. 24, the America’s Best Employers by State list ranks the University of Nebraska–Lincoln No. 4 among companies headquartered within the Cornhusker State. It places the university in the same category as some of the most prestigious and well-established private companies in Nebraska, including Mutual of Omaha, Kiewit and Methodist Health System.

We are now offering workshops to create your professional development plan. As a part of the N2025 Strategic Plan, the sixth aim is "Prioritize participation and professional development for all Nebraska students, staff, and faculty." A part of the strategy is to ensure a means for all faculty, graduate and professional students, post-doctoral fellows, and staff to co-create an individualized professional development roadmap.

Congratulations to all the faculty and staff! Awards coordinated by the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor have been announced for 2022. These honor faculty and staff who advance the missions of the university in teaching, research and service. Recipients will be recognized at The Laurels award reception in the fall.
