You're invited to join us at the Nebraska State Capitol on Wednesday, March 6th from 1-3:00 p.m. for an "I Love NU" Day celebration! A full schedule is available to the right.

"I Love NU" Day will begin with a short program featuring Interim President Chris Kabourek, Senators Teresa Ibach and Danielle Conrad, and our four student regents. All NU supporters should meet in Room 1524 on the first floor of the Capitol.

After our short program, we will gather in the balcony of the Norris Legislative Chamber to be recognized by the Nebraska Legislature.

Participants will have the opportunity to meet with state senators, take photos with campus mascots, and engage with fellow university supporters.

New in 2024, we will have an all-NU ice cream social, featuring ice cream from the UNL Dairy Store in the Capitol courtyard. Following the ice cream social, participants are invited to join UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen for a special Capitol tour.

During our 2024 virtual celebration, we will be highlighting the impact of students, faculty, staff and alums from across the NU System. From research and workforce development to agriculture, innovation and healthcare, their work is creating a better future for our state, nation and world–everyday. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for updates throughout the week!

On Monday, we’re celebrating the pursuit of knowledge and innovation. Researchers across the NU System have made groundbreaking discoveries that will shape the future of STEM, the humanities and many other fields. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of knowledge and making an impact on Nebraska, the nation and the world.

On Tuesday, we’re celebrating the heart of our institution: our students. On all four campuses, NU students are gaining hands-on experiences, developing skills for their future careers, expanding their networks, and giving back to the communities in which they live. And when they graduate, they become part of a global network of alumni making an impact every day.

On Thursday, we’re highlighting the vital role the NU System plays in supporting Nebraska’s number one industry—and helping to address global challenges. Through cutting-edge research, extension and education, we're advancing agricultural practices and fostering innovation that will shape the future of food production and sustainability.

On Friday, we’re highlighting how the work of NU faculty, staff, students and partners is helping to create a healthier future. From discovering and advancing breakthroughs in medicine to promoting public health initiatives and more, the NU System is making Nebraska—and the world—a healthier place for all.
