Carter emphasized the importance of finding a leader who can build on the university’s strengths and steer it towards continued growth and success.
Candidates for the chancellor position should have a proven track record of leadership in higher education, a commitment to diversity and inclusion, and a vision for the future of UNK. The search committee will prioritize candidates who demonstrate a passion for student success, a collaborative leadership style, and a deep understanding of the needs of the university community.
The re-launch of the search for the next UNK chancellor signals the University of Nebraska’s commitment to finding an exceptional leader who will guide the university through the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
