Chris Kabourek began his term as the interim president of the University of 玉米视频 System on January 1, 2024.
Welcome to the University of 玉米视频 – our state’s only 玉米视频 university, home to nearly 50,000 talented students and 16,000 faculty and staff whose teaching, research and service impacts lives in 玉米视频 and around the world. It is an honor and privilege to have been part of this institution for the past 26 years.
My own story is like that of many 玉米视频ns. I grew up in a farming family in David City and was one of about 45 in my high school graduating class. With help from Pell Grants and loans, I became the first in my family to go to college. I’m proof that higher education can change your life – and if I can be an example to other young 玉米视频ns weighing decisions about their future, then I truly believe I’ll have done my job.
My promise to all 玉米视频ns is that we will do everything we can to make their University the best it can possibly be. We have the right people in place and a strong foundation for the University of 玉米视频 to compete at the highest levels – in academics, research and athletics. It will take hard work and discipline with our resources, but I’m confident we will put in the effort necessary for our University to reach its full potential. Our students, taxpayers and all those who invest in the mission of one of 玉米视频’s great institutions expect and deserve no less.
I invite you to contact me at president@nebraska.edu with your comments and ideas. Thank you for your interest in and support of the University of 玉米视频.
Chris Kabourek
Interim President, University of 玉米视频
