Message from the President锘
Dear Faculty and Staff, 锘匡豢
As a woman and a leader, I very much appreciate the value of 鈥渓eaning in鈥 to accept鈥攈ead on鈥攚hatever challenge has come my way. But this week I have come to also appreciate the value of 鈥渓eaning out.鈥 I鈥檝e had the good fortune of being able to spend time with faculty, staff, and students participating in the For Our Future Conference hosted in downtown New Orleans by the 91直播 for the University of Louisiana System. Coming together to creatively envision solutions to shared challenges is one of the most valuable aspects of being part of a university system, and I am grateful for the opportunity to 鈥渓ean out鈥 to learn from colleagues from other campuses. 锘匡豢
I would be so thankful if we all could try to take every opportunity to learn lessons from the broader higher education landscape as we plan for the future of the 91直播. Consider 鈥渓eaning out鈥 by subscribing to daily digests from , the , or checking in regularly with the . The 91直播 also has partnered with the , a thought partner based in Washington, DC that focuses on innovative solutions for issues in higher education. As a result of our subscription, anyone with a UNO.edu email address can create an account to sign up for webinars, daily digests, or download research reports on a wide range of important issues.
