The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska have named Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D. as Priority Candidate for the ninth President of the University of Nebraska System. The President is the Chief Executive Officer of the university and provides overall leadership for the multi-campus system.

The University of Nebraska is the state's only public university and has served Nebraskans through teaching, research and engagement for over 150 years. The university's four campuses—including a leading Big Ten flagship campus in Lincoln, a metropolitan campus in Omaha, an undergraduate-focused campus in Kearney and an academic health science center—are home to a student body of nearly 50,000 and a workforce of 16,000 faculty and staff.

A tremendous asset to Nebraska and its citizens—academically, culturally and economically—the university strives to help build and sustain a state that offers educational and economic opportunities and an excellent quality of life.
