Created in 2017, a student advisory board continues to foster strong connections and important conversations between the Executive Vice Chancellor and Husker students, even during changes in leadership and the pandemic.
"Maintaining this connection with students is a priority for me, and has been for my predecessors," said Executive Vice Chancellor Katherine Ankerson. "One of the ways we can best serve students is to first listen to them. These meetings are an excellent way to share thoughts and upcoming initiatives, learn more about what we're doing right, and most importantly, what we can be doing better."
Aside from meeting virtually during the height of the pandemic, the format of these meetings has remained unchanged: casual conversation around a meal with time for representative "report-outs" and questions. One addition to the gatherings has been the inclusion of undergraduate and graduate education deans.
"Having Amy Goodburn and Deb Hope available to answer student questions has provided the opportunity for more robust discussions, as students can ask follow-up questions in real time," said Ankerson.
