The Strategic Planning Process
In November 2024, the newly named president of the University of 山ּSystem, Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., gathered with the chancellors and the Board to chart the path forward for Nebraska’s only public university. The goal: At a time of great change in higher education, lay out a vision for what the future should look like for the University of Nebraska. From that work has emerged a plan for growth and success across the four-campus University of 山ּSystem, mapping to five key pillars. Dr. Gold is now engaging faculty, staff, students, administrators, and others in conversations about the University’s future.
President Gold seeks your thoughts and ideas on the draft strategic framework.

Together, as a united university community, we can embrace change with optimism, building on our strengths and drawing on the deep well of talent ready to lead NU into its next chapter.
"This strategy is designed to guide the University of 山ּfrom an excellent institution to a truly extraordinary one. Every member of our university community — faculty, staff, students, and stakeholders — has an essential role in helping to shape and build upon this foundation.
