A clear vision for the University of Nebraska's future.
Platform
With 25 years of experience developing talent and leading organizational excellence, Katie brings a practical, results-oriented perspective to the Board of Regents. These are the priorities that will guide her work.
Nebraskans deserve access to a world-class university education at a price families can manage. Katie will work to control costs, expand scholarship opportunities, and ensure the University remains accessible for students from every corner of the state — not just those with means.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is a crown jewel for our state. Katie will champion investment in patient care, medical research, and the development of health care professionals who serve Nebraskans today and pioneer tomorrow's treatments.
The jobs of the future will require new skills. Katie will push the University to embrace innovation — in curriculum, technology, and industry partnerships — so that Nebraska graduates are equipped to compete and lead in a rapidly changing economy.
The University of Nebraska belongs to all Nebraskans. Katie will ensure the Board operates with openness, engages communities across the state, and always keeps the best interests of the entire University System — students, faculty, and taxpayers — as its top priority.
A university system that works for every Nebraskan — affordable, innovative, transparent, and built for the future.
