NU Alumni in Office

We appreciate our partnership with our state and federal policymakers, who support us with state funds and through legislation as we provide accessible, affordable higher education to Nebraskans. Many of our policymakers have received their own degrees through the University of Nebraska—and know first-hand the difference that education can make in their lives.

We are proud of our alumni who have answered the call of public service, whether as a state senator in the 91��߹Legislature or as a member of the 91��߹Federal Delegation. We want to thank them for their service to the people and state of Nebraska.

“The University of 91��߹is the heart of our state. It’s a place where Nebraskans from all backgrounds unite, students discover endless opportunities, and research and industry meet to drive innovation. I went to NU because I love this state—and I know the staff at NU work hard every day to prepare the next generation of Nebraskans to make our good life even better.” U.S. Senator Deb Fischer
"I taught my first class at UNO. When I came out of class that afternoon, on a particularly sunny day, I couldn't stop smiling all day and I knew I had found a calling. I taught for many years after that, in many different places, but UNO gave me that first opportunity.” Senator Wendy DeBoer
District 10
“As someone who earned a Masters in Business Administration from the University of 91��߹Omaha, I understand how vitally important an accessible and affordable four-year institution is to an urban area such as Omaha and for non-traditional students. UNO has a long and rich history in Omaha and is a flagship for the community; excelling in teaching and a leader in innovation and research.” Senator John Arch
District 14
“As a state senator representing a rural district, I can speak to the unmatched value of an education from the University of Nebraska. My husband Greg and I both graduated from UNL with degrees from East Campus. Additionally, I’m proud that our three children, triplets, also graduated with degrees in agriculture from East Campus. We attribute our careers to the education and networking opportunities that UNL afforded us.” Senator Teresa Ibach
District 44
