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. 

Meaningful and impactful professional development for all reinforces that every person and every interaction matters.
