CHANCELLOR'S MESSAGE

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.
