It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of Dr. John Christensen, Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Dr. Christensen was a steadfast champion for access, equity and student success, and he leaves a legacy that has shaped @UNOmaha and the broader University of Nebraska System in profound and lasting ways. A respected scholar and a passionate advocate for urban engagement, he served as UNO’s chancellor from 2007 to 2017. During his decade of leadership, Dr. Christensen led UNO through a period of remarkable growth and transformation. He strengthened the university’s ties with the Omaha community, expanded its research and academic programs and helped position UNO as a national model for community engagement and metropolitan service. His warmth, humility and deep commitment to students defined his tenure and continue to inspire those of us privileged to follow in his footsteps. On behalf of the entire University of Nebraska community, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Christensen’s family, friends and former colleagues. We are forever grateful for his leadership and his unwavering dedication to our mission.

@SteveLiewer Steve, you truly are an expert on military issues and an objective, dedicated journalist. Also, worth noting, you’re a great human. I’m so sorry.

I was laid off today after 11+ yrs at the Omaha World-Herald & 42 yrs as a reporter. No regrets, but I'll miss my great colleagues!

Great feature about a great leader in Omaha. Go Mavs! MORNING LIFT: A campus tour with UNO Chancellor Joanne Li 3newsnow.com/news/local-new…

@heymooly @CHRISBURBACH I’m glad you’ll still be in Nebraska journalism. Congrats, Molly!

some news: After three wonderful years, my last day at The Omaha World-Herald is Friday. I leave endlessly grateful to my editors, colleagues, sources and readers for their trust and encouragement. It has been a dream and an honor.

@LincolnBizBuzz @JournalStarNews Dave was a smart, thoughtful editor. My condolences to everyone at @JournalStarNews.

Dave Bundy was a great journalist, a great boss and a great person. I wish I didn't have to write his obituary, but I was honored to do so. He was an asset to @JournalStarNews and #LNK. Rest in peace, Dave: #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">journalstar.com/news/local/dav…
