Chancellor’s Message

As a metropolitan university, the University of Nebraska at Omaha is deeply connected to the people, challenges, and opportunities that shape our community. That connection requires imagination.

Imagination is often associated with creativity, but it is also a powerful force for progress. It is what allows us to see possibilities where others see obstacles, to ask new questions, and to envision solutions that have not yet been discovered. At UNO, imagination drives innovation, learning, and impact.

Chancellor’s Message

At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, progress starts with processing what matters most, and preservation is about carrying forward what allows for adaptation and growth.

Traditionally, preservation calls to mind historic buildings, archival records, or traditions. At UNO, the concept is broader and more urgent. Preservation goes beyond saving the past. It is about safeguarding people, ideas and systems so communities can thrive now and in the future. From strengthening civic well-being to advancing cybersecurity and digital integrity, UNO is focused on sustaining the foundations that allow innovation to move forward.

But, behind every achievement is something deeper that doesn’t always make the headlines, yet shapes everything we do: joy.

At UNO we find joy in community, possibility and in knowing that every Maverick – past, present, and future – plays a part in shaping a better tomorrow.
