2020 Census
Every ten years, we play a role in our democracy and how federal funding is allocated—to programs impacting education, transportation, health care, and many other critical services in Nebraska. This only happens when we all participate in the 2020 Census. Read more about the Census and how members of the University community can participate on our 2020 Census website.
