Forgoing tradition, Milliken delivered the 2006 State of the University of Nebraska address via e-mail and posted it online as a digital audio file and podcast. The speech is available in audio and print formats at www.nebraska.edu.

Perlman delivered UNL's State of the University talk in a traditional address Sept. 9 at the Lied Center for Performing Arts. The speech was recorded by University Communications and converted into UNL's first podcast.

In his speech, Milliken highlighted NU's accomplishments of the past year and the goals of the university's strategic framework. Those goals were developed to guide university planning, establish priorities and measure progress. Created in consultation with the Board of Regents, chancellors, faculty, staff, students and citizens across the state, the framework is built on six overarching goals: affordable access to education; quality academic programs; excellence in research and scholarship; Nebraska's workforce and economic development; engagement with the state; and accountability to the people of Nebraska.
