FOR THE GENERATIONS OF LEADERS WE’LL INSPIRE

An Excellent Education That’s Accessible and Affordable

Together, we can ensure that every student has every opportunity to learn, to succeed and to build a rewarding career, while we also address critical workforce issues in our state.

FOR THE CHILDREN WE WILL HELP SUCCEED

Making Nebraska the Best Place in the Nation to Be a Baby​

By leveraging the resources of the four campuses of the University of Nebraska and applying the best of what is known about the science and benefits of early childhood intervention, the Buffett Early Childhood Institute serves as a catalyst for change and provides a unified vision for transforming early childhood development.

FOR THE LIVES WE’LL SAVE AND THE SOLUTIONS WE’LL BRING

Creating the Future We Need Now

The Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute addresses one of the most urgent, complex challenges of the 21st century: how to achieve greater food security with less stress on water resources. To meet this mission, DWFI must attract key specialists for innovative research and development, train the next generation of water for food leaders, share the knowledge and research that will save lives and stabilize economies and build strong partnerships.

“We want the University of Nebraska to be a top choice for every student so they can fulfill their dreams and build their futures right here in Nebraska. When our university succeeds in competing for student talent, our entire state succeeds. We have a great opportunity to work together to attract and retain more of our best and brightest, and the Only in Nebraska campaign will help us get there.”
Chris Kabourek, University of Nebraska System Interim President
“In creating the Buffett Early Childhood Institute, Nebraska has set a high bar for what’s possible when talented and committed people from across the university system and around the state come together to make a difference for children, families and the incredible professionals who serve them.”
Dr. Walter Gilliam, Executive Director, BECI
