UNL's Programs of Excellence
In 2002, when Programs of Excellence (PoE) funds were first identified, UNL established a process for individual units and programs to identify priority programs in their areas consistent with the priority initiatives identified by the Board of Regents. Some fourteen programs with potential for excellence were identified for funding. In succeeding years, departments and units were invited to submit competitive proposals in these identified areas. In addition, a few seed grants were awarded to help faculty further develop additional areas that have great potential for achieving excellence.
