UNO STEM Strategic Plan
In collaboration with CAS, CEHHS, and CIST, the STEM TRAIL Center leads development of, operationalizes, and collects success metrics for the STEM Strategic Plan.
Since the initial launch of the STEM Priority at the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) in 2012 the effort to advance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) on our campus and in the region has been a collaborative journey among UNO students, staff, faculty, and administrators as well as our partners in the Omaha metropolitan community.
In 2013, together with our colleagues both on and off campus, we developed a five-year STEM Strategic Plan that has served the campus well, providing the framework necessary to accomplish many of our foundational objectives. Encouraged and excited by the success of our Phase I efforts, we began development and execution of Phase II in 2018. We are now beginning the development of the 2025-2030 STEM Strategic Plan.
Our collective mission remains as follows:
The mission of the UNO STEM Priority is to advance student understanding and success in the STEM disciplines, to support faculty collaboration and professional development in STEM research and education, and to aggressively lead community partnerships focused on increasing STEM capacity, competency, innovation, and literacy at all levels for the betterment of our metropolitan, regional, national, and international communities.
This purpose continues to be supported by four goals focused on advancing STEM in the areas of teaching and learning, research, community engagement/outreach, and infrastructure. These goal areas align with the four goals of UNO’s Strategic Plan, which include student centeredness, academic excellence, community engagement, and institutional quality.
