While some of that work looks different in a COVID-19 world, the university remains committed to engaging across borders to solve complex challenges and preparing students to live and work in a global economy.<br \/>\n<P>&#8220;We generate new knowledge to help solve some of the world&#8217;s most pressing problems and insure our relevancy in a world of rapidly expanding information and data,&#8221; Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, wrote in an opening letter in the global engagement report. &#8220;Our present position of leadership in the fight against COVID-19 and previously, our response to the Ebola crises of 2014, are indicative of our efforts and successes.&#8221;<br \/>\n<P>Global engagement successes highlighted in the report include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UNMC&#8217;s work in improving health outcomes in under-resourced settings, including efforts to improve the health of children in Nigeria through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/pediatrics\/research\/ifain\/index.html\">International Foundation Against Infectious Disease in Nigeria<\/a>. The country has one of the highest under-5 mortality rates in the world.\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/unknews.unk.edu\/2019\/11\/26\/life-changing-experience-unk-students-present-research-in-tokyo\/\">A 2019 trip by a group of University of Nebraska at Kearney students<\/a> to the Asian Undergraduate Research Symposium in Tokyo, where they had the opportunity to present their research to an international audience and learn about Japanese culture.\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/news.unl.edu\/newsrooms\/today\/article\/nebraska-u-honored-for-focus-on-gilman-awards\/\">The University of Nebraska-Lincoln&#8217;s recognition as a &#8220;Greatest Growth Institution&#8221;<\/a> by the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, a U.S. Department of State award that supports study abroad opportunities for underrepresented undergraduates who may not otherwise be able to participate because of financial constraints.\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unomaha.edu\/news\/2019\/10\/uno-shizuoka-university-celebrate-40-years-of-friendship.php\">The University of Nebraska at Omaha&#8217;s celebration of 40 years of partnership with Shizuoka University in Japan<\/a>, the longest active international partnership at UNO that allowed more than 2,000 students and faculty to participate in educational and cultural exchanges between the sister institutions.<\/ul>\n<p><P>The 2020 <a href=\"http:\/\/nebraska.edu\/2020-GE-AnnualReport\">report<\/a> is the final such global engagement report to be issued from the NU system.
