Great Plains Leadership Institute enters 12th year

Become a leader in population health and health care through the Great Plains Leadership Institute (GPLI) offered by UNMC’s College of Public Health.

This is the 12th year the yearlong institute has provided a place for established and emerging leaders in the region to build and enhance leadership skills. Applications are due May 13. Classes begin Sept. 9.

  • Developing others
  • Leading positive change
  • Influencing organizational culture
  • Creating effective partnerships
