Projects
This page provides information about the projects those have been approved and funded. The centennial committee has provided funds to the UNO campuses and organizations to develop their own centennial projects and/or enhance existing events to incorporate a centennial focus. We believe, these helped in reestablishing, as well as creating connections to the university with alumni as well as corporate and community partners.
Gateway Newspaper Archive
Visit the online Gateway Archive The first project funded through the UNO Centennial Project Fund was the digitization of the Gateway. Digital versions of the Gateway from October 3, 1922 through July 26, 2005 are now available on the website. This project will allow anyone interested to research the history of UNO and will be an important tool for planning UNO Centennial projects and celebrations.
Living Tableaus
Josie Metal-Corbin and Sharon Sobel proposed the second project funded by the UNO Centennial Project Fund. The UNO Moving Company and the Department of Theater are teaming up to develop a presentation at UNO's Centennial Gala Celebration on February 21, 2009. The project, currently titled "Living Tableaus," will use dancers and actors dressed in period costumes to provide snapshots of life throughout the years at UNO.
UNO Women's Centennial Archive Project
To celebrate the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Centennial anniversary, the UNO Women's Centennial Archive Project (WCAP), is looking for more than 100 women – faculty, staff, alumni and students – to highlight throughout the existence of the university. Students will conduct interviews and ask participants to tell their story or write down their narrative. Friends and family of the selected women also can assist. A UNO Service-Learning Academy project and Chancellor's Commission on Status of Women (CCSW)-sanctioned event, see how the project is progressing by visiting http://www.unomaha.edu/wcap/.
