CUPSO

Universities sometimes see Public Service Centers and Institutes as auxilary to the education mission, but they can provide experiences that are truly formative to students' careers. Students looking for a sense of purpose get to experience how public service initiatives and applied research impact communities, and that can be life-changing. Love the way that the UNO Center for Public Affairs Research is telling these student stories in their new video series!

Congratulations to IEI for this awesome new hire and to Cherish for joining a great team! We'd love to see you at CUPSO conferences or webinars - your public health and faith perspective would be valuable to all of your public service colleagues.

It has been a productive first day at Georgia's Workforce Conference. Through breakout and plenary sessions, attendees have learned about strategies and tools being used in communities across Georgia to address workforce needs. We look forward to tomorrow!

This week's Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry newsletter highlighted CPAR's recent report with the University of Nebraska Medical Center about the status and future of the healthcare workforce in Nebraska. Nebraska's healthcare industry generated $9.7 billion to Nebraska's GDP in 2023. That is the 5th largest impact by industry in the state. About 20% of currently practicing physicians plan to retire within the next 10 years.

We are now accepting proposals for the 2025 CUPSO Conference, April 23-25 in Wichita, KS. For those who have not attended a CUPSO conference in the past, this is not a typical academic conference. Instead, we focus on peer-learning, sharing, and idea generation. This is an opportunity for Public Service Staff and Faculty to present their work to a national audience.?You can find out more and apply at CUPSO.org
