"I want you to know: I hear you. And I’m committed to answering your questions openly, honestly and consistently.

That’s why we have launched a new initiative called 'NU Students Ask.' Each semester, we’ll continue to gather real questions from student government leaders and other students across our four campuses, and I’ll answer them directly. "

Brooke Envick has been selected as the next dean of the UNK College of Business & Technology

She’ll transition to the role on July 1, pending approval from the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Envick succeeds Tim Jares, who is retiring after serving as the college’s dean for six years.

“I am truly honored to be selected as the next dean of the College of Business and Technology. I’m excited to build on our strong foundation of excellence, champion innovation and collaborate with our outstanding students, faculty and staff to shape a future of growth, impact and shared success,” Envick said.

A Loper alumna and third-generation UNK professor, Envick joined the faculty here in fall 2017, continuing the legacy of her grandfather Maynard and father Don, both longtime faculty members who were dedicated to advancing education at Kearney State College/UNK.

Envick earned a bachelor’s degree in management and Master of Business Administration from UNK, then completed her doctorate in organizational behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She taught at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, for nearly 20 years before returning to her alma mater.
