welcome.

The Civic Participation Project at UNO, a member of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities' American Democracy Project (ADP), seeks to engage our university community - students, faculty, staff, and administrators - to understand and participate in activities designed to increase their civic engagement. The goal of the project is to promote the development of an informed and contributing citizenry for the United States in the 21st century. The University of Nebraska at Omaha is a metropolitan university with a mission to disseminate knowledge through teaching and research, and by offering public service to the citizens of the state, particularly the residents of the Omaha metropolitan area. The American Democracy Project's goals match those of our institution well. Metropolitan universities like ours bear particular responsibility to be not only in the community, but of the community.
