The deadline for submitting workshop proposals for the third annual the University of Nebraska–Lincoln All-Staff Conference has been extended to Feb. 10.

Staff are invited to submit a proposal to be a workshop presenter at the conference. The Nebraska U All-Staff Conference will feature workshops that engage staff in conversation and interactive experiences around a variety of sub-themes focused on the impact staff make on the campus community. The 2023 conference theme is “IMPACT: Cultivating Change Through Action to Create Lasting Impact.”

The conference will be held May 22-23 in the Nebraska East Union.

Proposals for presentations that align with one or more of the following sub-themes are being requested:

  • Include: Proposals to this theme will highlight positive diversity, inclusion and accessibility efforts on campus and how they might be implemented across campus.

  • Mentor: Proposals to this theme will illustrate successful mentoring relationships, whether formal programs or informal interactions.

  • Partner: Proposals to this theme will describe collaborations that solve problems, innovate and increase efficiency.

  • Amplify: Proposals to this theme will share how staff are celebrated and their voices lifted on campus, and how these practices may be adopted in other units.

  • Creativity: Proposals to this theme will focus on ideas about how the workplace can be transformed by creativity and influenced by atmospheric shifts.

  • Technology: Proposals to this theme will allow presenters to demonstrate how they use technology to simplify and standardize tasks, increase accessibility, and promote a productive hybrid work environment.

Additional information about these categories, and the full request for proposals document, is provided on the NU ALL-Staff Conference website. Proposals must be submitted online via NuRamp. Submit all proposals here. Acceptance or declination will be announced in March.
