The Office of External Relations is responsible for numerous strategic communications initiatives that help to tell the story of the University of Nebraska's impact on the state. A few of those initiatives are listed below and linked in the navigation to the right so you can learn more.
2020 Census
Every ten years, we play a role in our democracy and how federal funding is allocated—to programs impacting education, transportation, health care, and many other critical services in Nebraska. This only happens when we all participate in the 2020 Census. Read more about the Census and how members of the University community can participate on our 2020 Census website.
Economic Impact
The University of Nebraska generates an annual $4.5 billion for the state—providing research, jobs, clinical care and over 10,000 graduates to Nebraska every year. Thanks to an enduring partnership with the state, along with unprecedented support from the private sector, the university has been successful in fulfilling its responsibility to Nebraskans.
