attention artists! PUBLIC ART PROSPECTUS – RFQ ARTWORK SITE DEADLINE: APRIL 14, 2008 message from the dean.
The web site provides an excellent overview of the College’s mission and strategic plan, its programs and services. I invite you to spend some time exploring what CPACS has to offer whether you are a current or potential student, an alumnus, a donor or someone interested in our academic, research or outreach programs. I think you will find we are justifiably proud of what we have accomplished and what we offer to those interested in pursuing excellence in public service. Should you have questions or if I can provide further information, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone (402-554-2276), email (breed@mail.unomaha.edu) or stop by for a visit at my office at Annex 26 on UNOmaha’s campus.

Welcome to the College of Public Affairs and
Community Service Web Site. The College offers a wide range of
undergraduate and graduate academic degree and certificate programs
in social work, public administration, criminal justice, gerontology,
aviation, urban studies and general studies. Our programs are nationally recognized
for their academic excellence, research contributions, and caliber
of their alumni. The College of Public Affairs and Community Service (CPACS) was created amidst the social and racial turbulence occurring in Omaha in the early 1970s to ensure the university was responsive to the critical social needs and concerns of our community and state.
Central to the new college's mission was the provision of educational and training programs of the highest caliber that would prepare students for careers and leadership in the public service. Today, the College remains the only such institution in the United States to include "Community Service" in its title.
From those days 30 years ago the College has grown into a nationally recognized leader in public affairs research. Its faculty ranks among the finest in their disciplines (see Faculty & Staff Awards). Faculty, staff, and students have become integral to the community and the state through applied research, service learning and various extensive outreach activities harkening back to our responsibility to address critical social needs and concerns.
