The Chancellor's Welcome

Welcome! The Community Engagement Center (CEC), opening spring of 2014, will serve as both the front door to the campus and as the university's signature outreach venue. The CEC will support expansion of university-community partnerships, help meet growing demands for community meeting and planning space and extend the campus' logistical resources to its community partners. UNO is among a vanguard of universities throughout the nation committed to a dynamic civic engagement agenda, and, accordingly, the CEC will play a vital role in UNO achieving its significant community outreach goals. UNO will be one of the few civically engaged universities to have a dedicated facility for this endeavor.
