00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:10.900
Despite the challenges of the
last year, the University of

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.860
Nebraska-Lincoln is more
committed than ever to engage

00:00:13.860 --> 00:00:17.460
with today's interconnected
world - a world we aim to bring

00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:21.220
to our students, faculty and
staff through global education

00:00:21.220 --> 00:00:24.980
and global experiences. As
Chancellor Green announced at

00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:28.420
the 2021 State of Our University address, we're

00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:31.985
releasing our campus' first
institutional international plan

00:00:31.985 --> 00:00:37.660
Forward Together, A Global
Strategy for UNL. This global

00:00:37.660 --> 00:00:42.140
strategy is deeply rooted in
the N2025 Strategic Plan and

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:46.300
incorporates all six themes
into a global context. This

00:00:46.300 --> 00:00:49.180
document aims to both set
a broad vision for the

00:00:49.180 --> 00:00:52.460
institution and all that we can
accomplish as a transformative,

00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:57.100
world-leading university. In
Goal 1, we build off of the

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:01.180
N2025 emphasis on student
experiential learning to make

00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:04.860
sure every Husker is Future and World Ready with a global

00:01:04.860 --> 00:01:08.480
experience included in their
portfolio. The second goal,

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:12.720
Partner for Impact, challenges
us to solve world challenges

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:16.320
through strategic partnerships
overseas and to launch a

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:19.440
university-wide effort to
recognize the impact and

00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:22.960
expertise of our faculty and
staff. Goal 3 aims to Bring

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:26.320
the Best from around the world
to Nebraska by building new

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:30.000
pathways for international
students to come to our campus

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.840
and by expanding our capacity
to better support all Huskers.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.600
Finally, the fourth goal of a
Strong Foundation strengthens

00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:41.600
the university infrastructure
to support the strategy by

00:01:41.600 --> 00:01:44.240
establishing a physical hub of
international activity on

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:48.320
campus and by working across
colleges to adapt and

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:51.360
communicate these initiatives.
Forward Together is really a

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:55.120
road map, a call to action and
an opportunity to take the

00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.040
advantage of Nebraska's unique
strengths to expand our global

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.160
engagement. I encourage
everyone to review this plan on

00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:06.160
our Global Nebraska website, and
I'm excited to move forward

00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:12.574
together as we implement this
innovative global strategy.
