Strategic Discussions for Nebraska

A Collaborative Research Project

Nebraska's Econmic Future

Strategic Discussions for Nebraska is a collaborative research project located in Andersen Hall, home of the College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The organization includes a body of scholars and leaders from Nebraska colleges and universities, as well as private sector leaders who serve on an advisory board.

The most recent project was published in June 2009 and focuses on Nebraska's Economic Future. It includes a summary of our findings; stories based on individual interviews; summaries of community conversations; and articles written specifically for this magazine. The articles represent varied geographical perspectives as well as perspectives on various parts of the state's economy.

We welcome comments on our studies and your suggestions on future studies. If you would like copies of the magazine, please contact us.
