The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) has launched “Invest in the Best,” a new monthly programming initiative aimed at supporting and celebrating faculty and staff. This initiative, developed by the Staff Taskforce, involves collaboration between various university offices, including the Chancellor’s Office and Human Resources.
What’s New?
“Invest in the Best” offers a series of events throughout the year, designed to foster connections among colleagues, promote wellbeing, and encourage both personal and professional growth.
Why It Matters
Faculty and staff are vital to UNO’s success in teaching, research, and community engagement. This initiative provides dedicated opportunities for them to connect beyond their everyday duties.
What They’re Saying
- Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA, UNO Chancellor: “Our faculty and staff are at the heart of UNO. When we invest in our people, we strengthen our entire university community.”
- Bill Pickett, Director of Spirit, Tradition, and Signature Events: “The best investment UNO can make is in the people who make a difference every day.”
What’s Next?
The “Invest in the Best” programming will continue monthly throughout the academic year, with new events added regularly. Faculty and staff can view upcoming events and find ways to participate.
