Description
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's international engagement activities operate at a variety of levels, including individual students and faculty members, teams and classes, programs, departments, centers, colleges, and the university as a whole. Many of our engagement activities have been and will always be carried out by individuals and without formal institutional commitments or agreements, however, the spread and effectiveness of such activities can often be enhanced through formal institutional agreements of the University with foreign institutions and agencies.
