Self-study offers insight for campus, review team

The self-study process undertaken to prepare for the accreditation yielded several useful findings, according to Jim O'Hanlon, former dean of UNL Teachers College and accreditation team leader.

First, members of the UNL community understand and work toward fulfilling the university's three-part mission of teaching and learning, research and creative activity, and outreach and engagement.

The university, O'Hanlon said, has a strong relationship with the state, which expects the university to educate students and provide leadership in economic development and research.

The recently adopted core values (Learning, Excellence, Achievement, Diversity, Engage-ment, Research and Stewardship) support the university's missions and activities.

The university has made considerable progress in a number of areas since the last review in 1996-97. A factor in this progress has been concerted effort to target and match resources with goals.
