Connecting Learning With Life

At the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. In Student Life, we create the experiences, communities, and opportunities that shape a student’s life beyond academics. We help Huskers establish roots and discover their strengths. Through programs, services, leadership opportunities, and spaces designed with students in mind, we support the whole student—academically, socially, and personally.

This page highlights both our strategic direction and the impact of our work. Our plans guide where we are going, and our impact reports show the difference we make each year. Together, they tell our story of a commitment to creating an environment where every Husker can grow, contribute, and belong.

Where We're Headed

Our strategic plan sets forth a five-year plan, 2021-2026, to offer direction and help prioritize objectives within our units. Recognizing that a strategic plan must be nimble to meet unforeseen needs, Student Life leadership will review this framework annually to assess, continuously improve and establish ongoing tactical goals for the division and its units.
