Events Fall 2006

Voter Registration - September and October - 400 students, faculty, staff and community people were registered during this period. Voter Registration events were held all over campus. Student members from the Pi Gamma Mu, an International Social Science Honorary, as well as students from UNO College Democrats became deputized to register voters and were key to making this a successful project.

These events were held in partnership with UNO's American Democracy Project (ADP). The ADP at UNO seeks to increase the Civic Engagement of its students, staff, faculty and administrators. Its goal is to help fuel the development of an informed and contributing citizenry for the United States in the 21st century.

October is Domestic Violence Month and CCSW held the following event: "Know Your Boundaries".
Speakers from both on and off campus, including the YWCA Omaha, the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council and multiple campus organizations, were part of this event. The issues highlighted included: intimate partner violence, healthy relationship skills, and the resources on campus and in the community that are available for addressing domestic violence.
