He says that UNL's college is considered top-notch by those in the news and journalism industry. Despite an enrollment of almost 900 students, the college faculty do an exceptional job of maintaining the intimacy of a small college. James Moeser My conversations with UNL faculty and with students, many of whom are reporters with the Daily Nebraskan, confirm my view that our college is one of high caliber. Its strengths are many. First, despite an enrollment of almost 900 students, the college faculty do an exceptional job of maintaining the intimacy of a small college.
Time is a crucial component, and our faculty are generous with their time.
That creates a tight-knit community of students, a culture that studies have shown enhances retention and encourages learning. The students form long-lasting friendships that extend beyond their college years. It is not unusual for journalism graduates to network among their friends nationally. That familial relationship is promoted by faculty, who take an almost parental interest in the welfare of their students during their undergraduate years and after graduation. Faculty keep in touch with students for years after graduation, follow their professional development and continue to guide them as they pursue their careers.
