This is the official LinkedIn page of the the University of Nebraska System, the state of Nebraska's only public university. The NU System is comprised of four campuses: the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. A land-grant flagship campus. An academic medical center. A metropolitan campus serving our urban citizens. And a campus focused on undergraduates. Collectively, these four unique institutions are known as the University of Nebraska System. Each institution has distinct strengths, giving the University of Nebraska System a scope of expertise that is hard to equal. Side by side, we accomplish more—for our state and for our world.

Founded in 1978, RCAC provides training, technical and financial resources and advocacy so rural communities can achieve their goals. Since 1978, our dedicated staff and active board, coupled with our key values: leadership, collaboration, commitment, quality and integrity, have helped effect positive change in rural communities across the West. RCAC’s work includes environmental infrastructure (water, wastewater and solid waste facilities); affordable housing development; economic and leadership development; and community development finance. These services are available to communities with populations of fewer than 50,000, other nonprofit groups, Tribal organizations, farmworkers, colonias and other specific populations. Headquartered in West Sacramento, California, RCAC’s employees serve rural communities in 13 western states and the Pacific islands. With an annual operating budget of more than $15 million and more than 100 employees working from 52 field offices, RCAC is an important resource to low-income rural communities throughout the West

The International Institute of Rural Reconstruction [IIRR] is one of the world's leading rural-focused NGOs. Since 1960, our mission has been to help empower rural communities so that they can take charge of their own success. Our programs across health, education, environment, food systems and economic empowerment have been delivered in over 50 countries, directly impacting the lives of more than 17 million people. Africa and Asia are home to nearly 90% of the world's rural population, currently estimated at approx. 3.4 billion people globally. That is 45% of people on Earth. In much the same way that IIRR was called upon by UNICEF and the British Government to assist in the Ebola epidemic, we are working with existing and new partners to reach marginalized communities already being affected by the pandemic. This is far from a hopeless issue. With our commitment to innovation, we work with our partners to ensure those impact investments made in our food security, regenerative agriculture, health systems, and other programs generate a robust social return.
