A message from Dr. Susan Fritz
Associate Vice Chancellor announces strategic plan
Thanks to the assistance of internal and external stakeholders and the input of the IANR Strategic Plan Advisory Committee, we are pleased to announce that the 2008-2016 IANR vision and priorities have been finalized. Please share the IANR vision and priorities (below) with faculty, staff, students and stakeholders.
The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources serves Nebraska by providing internationally-recognized science and education to assure the state’s competitiveness in a changing world.
To fulfill this vision with its firm focus on Nebraska, we must achieve world-class excellence in: the life sciences, ranging from molecular to global systems; sustainable food, fiber, and natural resource systems that support a bio-based economy; economics and environments for a sustainable future; and human capital development of children, youth and families.
We do that by: advancing knowledge along the continuum from fundamental research to application and education necessary to meet the current and emerging needs of the state; preparing professionals for the future; creating and implementing solutions to critical problems; expanding partnerships across UNL, the NU system, and beyond; cultivating public-private partnerships. In short, we fulfill our mission by being at work for Nebraska.
Best regards,
Susan Fritz, Ph.D.
