Destination Omaha

Mavericks, 

As we embark on another academic year and my third year as UNO’s Chancellor, I want to reflect on what makes this university a destination for learning, growth and innovation. 

On September 19, I delivered my second State of the University Address with the theme of Destination Omaha. This year I highlighted our significant progress across all areas of the university. From our groundbreaking research to impressive student accomplishments, our commitment to standing out as an institution dedicated to academic excellence and transformative educational experience is imperative. Our collective efforts are shaping a brighter future for our community. 

In today’s rapidly changing world, this commitment is more important than ever. Our university is deeply connected to our community, and we provide our students with opportunities for hands-on experiences. Through our cutting-edge programs, outstanding facilities and dedicated faculty and staff, our learners are prepared to make meaningful contributions to the community and the world. 

UNO is a Destination where our learners are empowered to explore their interests, challenge their assumptions and develop the skills they need to lead. We are proud to offer a variety of programs that cater to a wide range of interests, equipping our learners with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive. 

As we move forward with our vision, we must continue to elevate our university as a destination for transformative learning and leadership. I eagerly anticipate the opportunities that lie ahead, and I know that by working together, we are shaping a brighter future for our community. We are the Destination. 

Sincerely, 

Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA

Together we will continue to make UNO not only a place for learning, but a place where every individual will thrive and contribute to a brighter future for our community. Omaha, our campus, isn’t just part of your journey. It is the Destination.

Chancellor’s Message

At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, we often highlight the degrees earned, research conducted, partnerships made and the lives we have transformed. These are the metrics of a thriving urban public research university.

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.
