WELCOME

The University of Nebraska at Omaha is a metropolitan university committed to building bridges between the campus and the community.

One such bridge is service learning, which brings the talents and energy of UNO students into the service of the Omaha community. Students not only address community needs but also enrich their own education by experiencing the real-world application of academic subjects and developing the habit of active citizenship.
