the Lied Center for Performing Arts and UNL, has a mission of promoting
better understanding of world events and issues to all Nebraskans.
In 1990, the name of the series was changed in honor of E.N. "Jack" Thompson
(1913-2002), a 1933 graduate of the University of Nebraska who served
as president of the Cooper Foundation from 1964 to 1990 and as its
chairman from 1990 until his death in 2002.
