Some of the most meaningful moments for students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha happen outside the classroom.
UNO students have a passion to pursue their interests. That’s where UNO’s diverse selection of recognized student organizations come into play, according to Cornelius Levering, outreach coordinator for Student Leadership and Involvement.
With more than 180 active student organizations on campus, students have a wide range of opportunities — from clubs centered around academic interests to RSOs that help students pursue a new hobby or give back to their community through volunteer work.
“The overall impact of our student organizations has been overwhelmingly positive,” Levering said. “These organizations create intentional engagement opportunities that help students feel connected and invested in campus life while also making the college experience enjoyable and memorable.”
RSOs have the power to create lifelong memories for students at UNO. These opportunities aren’t possible without the dedicated support of donors.
By supporting student organizations at UNO, you have the unique opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of students. In return, these organizations make a tangible difference on both the UNO campus and the Omaha community.
“The return on investment is reflected in student success, leadership development and the lasting sense of belonging that these organizations help foster,” Levering said.
To those who have supported UNO’s student organizations, Levering said a simple thank-you isn’t enough. He reiterated that this continued donor support will pave the way for lasting memories for the university’s students.
“To those who have made a gift to support a student organization at UNO, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude,” Levering said. “Your support directly impacts students by helping them create meaningful experiences, build community and develop skills that extend beyond the classroom.”
UNO Student Organizations Support Fund
Supporting recognized student organizations at UNO allows students to pursue their passions and make a difference in the community. By making a gift to the UNO Student Organizations Support Fund today, you can help these programs continue to grow.
“From my perspective, donor support has been one of the most significant contributors to the success and sustainability of these organizations. Donor funding helps remove financial barriers that might otherwise limit programming, travel opportunities, leadership development and large-scale campus events.”
