CASNR Community: It is an exciting time with the start of the new academic year. As we begin the fall semester, I am filled with gratitude and admiration for the incredible faculty, staff, post-docs, administrators, and students in the College. You are amazing – you lead with resilience, inspiring innovation, and remarkable determination. And model by example that every person and every interaction matters. Your passion and commitment make a difference every day, and I am excited to see the positive impact you will undoubtedly have in the lives of our students.

Aligned with the strategic framework for IANR and guided by the N2025 and NU’s 5-Year Strategy, our College’s strategic priorities provide a roadmap for us to boldly shape the future and positively transform the lives of our learners, Nebraskans, and global society.
• Be THE place for diverse educational pathways at the nexus of food, energy, water, and societal systems (FEWS2).
• Focus relentlessly on learner access and success.
• Prepare a talented and diverse workforce to support economic growth and vitality for Nebraska and beyond.

I hope you see opportunities to engage, co-create, and advance our shared goals, programs, and initiatives to provide our students with an exceptional educational experience. Our evolving vision for the College emphasizes the alignment of individual strategic outlooks within academic units, programs, and mission areas. It is this synergy that produces a truly creative and innovative teaching and learning environment.

Each member of our College Community has their unique talents and strengths, and we are fortunate that you have chosen to be a part of IANR and the College. You are having a positive impact.

Thank you for all that you do for our students, the College, and the people of Nebraska. Together, we will continue to make a lasting impact.
