New Young Professionals Network at UNL

There is a newly formed Young Professionals Network on campus. This group was designed to help up-and-coming young employees of UNL by providing opportunities for both professional development and networking experiences. Many young professionals who begin at UNL have moved from out-of-state to work here (over 2/3 of our members at our first meeting of 2016-2017 indicated they moved to Nebraska to work here). We are striving to build community among young professionals on campus in any type of professional/staff role. The group wants to connect to and recruit more young professionals from all campus units to this opportunity. The Young Professionals Network is in its first year of existence at UNL and they currently have 88 employees who are connected to the group.

Any full time staff or faculty member who considers themselves a young professional is welcome to join and membership is free. More information about this group is available at their website, http://www.unl.edu/ypn. If you, or any staff members, have questions about the group or want to learn about more ways to get involved, please contact one of the executive team members below. All staff members are encouraged to consider joining.
