University of Nebraska System President Ted Carter announced today a series of listening sessions in February to gather public input on the search for the next chancellor of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
All members of the university and broader communities are invited to attend the sessions, which will be moderated by AGB Search, the executive firm Carter has hired to assist with the search. The sessions will be used to gather feedback on the desired qualities of the next UNL chancellor, and opportunities and challenges facing UNL as it looks to its next chapter. Feedback from the sessions will inform the development of a “leadership profile” that will be used to advertise the UNL chancellorship and recruit a pool of candidates.
While many of the listening sessions are targeted to specific stakeholder groups, all sessions are open to all members of the public, and individuals are encouraged to attend whichever session(s) best fits their schedules.
"These listening sessions are a vital part of the search process," Carter said. "We’re looking for the very best person to lead Nebraska’s flagship university into the future, and the feedback and ideas of every person who cares about UNL will be invaluable in helping us find that leader. I sincerely hope all members of the UNL community will take this valuable opportunity to make their voices heard."
Details of the listening sessions follow. In addition to the sessions, feedback on the search may be submitted at .
