University of Nebraska at Kearney community invited to provide input on chancellor search

KEARNEY – The University of Nebraska is advancing the process of selecting the next chancellor of the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and community input will play a vital role in shaping the future of the institution.

Listening sessions were held Monday and Tuesday to gather feedback from faculty, staff, students and stakeholders regarding the qualities and priorities the next chancellor should embody. In addition to participating in these sessions, members of the UNK community are encouraged to share their perspectives by completing the Chancellor Search Feedback Survey.
