Maverick Mojo Under Way in Recruitment Services

"It's about fun. It's about creating excitement. It's about sharing what UNO has to offer with prospective students and their parents," said David Cicotello, director of new student enrollment services at UNO.

What is "it"? "It" is Maverick Mojo, the theme of UNO's recruitment and marketing campaign launched this month. Created by Omaha ad agency Ervin and Smith, the campaign features an interactive Web site, BeaMav.com (http://www.unomaha.edu/beamav/).

Targeted toward the high school student, the campaign approach was researched and test-marketed with local sophomores and juniors. 

"There's really nothing like this approach in the region, currently," Cicotello said. The objectives of the campaign are to raise awareness of the UNO brand and increase the number of applications for admission.

Located in 111 Eppley Administration Building, Recruitment Services has a staff of two administrative assistants and six recruiters (two of whom are part-time).

Cicotello encourages UNO departments and colleges to contact the recruitment staff when planning events for prospective students and parents.  "We have expertise in many areas of new student recruitment and can support events with presenters, viewbooks and other materials," he said.

Falun Gong Exhibit at UNO Art Gallery through Sept. 3

The UNO Art Gallery and Daniel Wilkins, professor of physics at UNO, will present artwork created by Chinese Falun Gong practitioners in a show titled "Toward Spiritual Freedom: The Art of Falun Gong" through Sept. 3.

"Truth, Compassion, Tolerance" explores the practice of Falun Gong - an ancient Chinese tradition of meditation and self-improvement - and the ban and oppression of its practice in China. Wilkins has practiced Falun Gong and been interested in its role in China since 2001.

The 17 featured artworks - paintings and pastel images - focus on personal courage and the cruelty and persecution that Falun Gong practitioners have faced in the People's Republic of China. "The artwork illustrates the inhumanity of religious persecution, while at the same time portraying the extraordinary power of people and belief," said Colleen Heavican, director of the UNO Art Gallery.

"Some of the artwork focuses on torture, and is visually arresting and disturbing at the same time," Wilkins said.

The exhibit runs through Sept. 3. The UNO Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Weber Fine Arts Building. The exhibition is free, handicapped accessible and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.; Thursday from noon to 8 p.m.; and Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.

For more information, contact Heavican at 554.2796.

UNO Earns Multiple Rankings in U.S. News

The results are in - the UNO College of Business Administration (CBA) and the Service Learning Academy are ranked in the annual America's Best Colleges compiled by U.S. News & World Report.

The CBA ranked in the Best Undergraduate Business Programs category, and the Service Learning Academy ranked in the Academic Programs: Service Learning Academy category. Also, for the first time, UNO received an upper tier regional best universities master's ranking in the Midwest category.

The purpose of the U.S. News rankings is to spotlight the country's academically excellent programs. During the past several months, institutions from across the country submitted information for entry. Rankings were based on peer assessment, freshman retention, graduation rate, class size, student/faculty ratio, percentage of full-time faculty, SAT/ACT scores, freshmen in top 25 percent of class, acceptance rate and alumni giving. The information was then checked by the U.S. News staff for accuracy and compiled into the America's Best Colleges rankings.

The 2007 edition hit bookstores and newsstands Aug. 21. For more information, call 554.2243 or visit the Web at http://www.usnews.com.

UNO in Princeton Review's Best Midwestern Colleges

UNO has again been selected for inclusion in The Princeton Review's new college guide, The Best Midwestern Colleges, which was released last week. 

Based on statistical information and surveys of college students and recent college graduates, the guide showcases top schools in 12 Princeton Review states – Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. UNO was included in the guide for the first time last year.

UNO's Princeton Review entry noted that the university is "in ascension," according to the entry on academics in the princetonreview.com Web site.  Students provided the comment material. 

Also on the "Academics" page, another UNO student comment read "substantial efforts have been made and will continue to be made to make UNO a bigger and better university to attend in the coming years."

Princeton Review's guides highlighted 644 colleges and universities across the nation; 163 in the Midwest. Just five other institutions in Nebraska - Creighton University, Doane College, Hastings College, Nebraska Wesleyan University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln - received a listing.

The Princeton Review launched its regional college guides several years ago in response to a growing trend for students to attend colleges and universities within two- to five-hour drives of their homes. The regional guides focus on the Midwest, Northeast, Southeast and West.

Information in the guides includes data on admissions, financial aid, student body demographics and academics. The regional guides, like the national one from The Princeton Review, also present an inclusive cross-section of academically outstanding colleges.

The Princeton Review is a New York City-based company known for its test prep courses, education services and books.  It is not affiliated with Princeton University or Educational Testing Service.  Princeton Review books are published by Random House.

ARTSaha! 2006 Festival Sept. 6-10 at UNO

ARTSaha!, Omaha's only new music festival, returns for a third year. Running from Sept. 6-10, ARTSaha! 2006 is a presentation of ANALOG arts ensemble, in partnership with UNO and with support from the Nebraska Humanities and Arts Councils. Most festival events will take place on the UNO campus, and all are free.

The festival kicks off Wednesday, Sept. 6, with a nine-hour performance of John Cage's organ composition As SLow aS Possible (ASLSP). The following day, ANALOG will present the festival's centerpiece, a chamber reduction of Jean-Philippe Rameau's 1739 opera-ballet The Festivities of Hebe. Veering from baroque to bluegrass and beyond, ANALOG's production, featuring mezzo-soprano Christina Carr delivering all of the roles, will bring one of Rameau's most glittering and richly layered scores to new life.

On the third day of the festival, ANALOG will present a showcase of the short plays of Samuel Beckett, in partnership with the Bluebarn Theatre's Witching Hour. Featuring rarely seen works like "Breath," "Not I" and "Rockaby," the production will highlight the kinship between Beckett and music's avant-garde. The Nobel laureate's estate has granted special permission for staged performances of two television plays, "Quad" and "Nacht und Träume," making this ARTSaha! event one of the most unique in the American celebration of the Beckett centenary.

On Saturday, Sept. 9, the public is invited to participate in the World's First Aeolian Kite-In at Immanuel Field, in front of Immanuel Hospital. A collaboration between ANALOG and Midwest Winds Kitefliers Club, the event will be a chance for attendees to attach a noisemaker to a kite and join in an interactive airborne sound installation.

That evening, the festival adjourns to the newly refurbished Mallory Kountze Planetarium on the UNO campus for a concert of electronic music, an ARTSaha! tradition. Berkeley native Heather Frasch will mount a sound diffusion scheme for a program that features classics of the genre along with world premieres of multimedia works.

The festival concludes with a collaborative performance of Terry Riley's minimalist masterpiece "In C." UNO students will join with ANALOG and local musicians for a free-ranging performance of one of the sacred texts of modern music in the UNO Pep Bowl.

Pulses Series on University Library Activities Begins

Beginning Monday, Aug. 28, UNO What's Up will publish a series of informational articles on happenings at University Library. Library staff is providing the Pulses articles. The topic of this week's article is the new library addition.

Pulses: University Library Welcomes Students with Plenty of Change
University Library is greeting the fall semester with the opening of the new Dr. Guinter Kahn Addition. Each floor offers something new. High-tech group study rooms offer oversized, wall-mounted monitors, projectors and multi-media software. Current periodicals and newspapers are centralized on the first floor of the new addition for easier access. The main floor houses seating surrounding the new Library Café, and third floor now features graduate study carrels and the grand Jun Kaneko sculpture. Power for laptops is readily available, as is wireless connectivity. 

"We're excited about the changes and proud of what we're now able to offer the students," said Steve Shorb, dean of University Library. "The new space, along with the new SCOLA Center and Hubble Space Display (opening this fall), all increase our service to our patrons and to the university." The library has also increased its Saturday hours, opening at 9 a.m. instead of 10 a.m.

Shorb invites the campus community to stop by and check out the new features.  The dedication of the library addition is scheduled for Oct. 11, 2006.

OMDC to Present "b*mod4" Sept. 15-16

Omaha Modern Dance Collective (OMDC) will present a concert, "b*mod4", featuring the work of four local and regional choreographers Friday and Saturday, Sept. 15-16, at Creighton University's Lied Education Center for the Arts, 24th and Cass St.  The show will begin at 7:30 p.m. each night.

The event will feature dances created by Omaha choreographers Susan Dickson Matsunami, Kelly Holcombe Hanneman and Mary Waugh Taylor of the UNO Moving Company, as well as former Lincoln resident Sara Semonis.

"We brought together these four choreographers because they have produced full bodies of work and are currently at the peak of their creativity," said producer Taffy Howard, director of the sponsoring OMDC. "Anyone who comes to the concert will find out why we're calling it 'an explosion of creative energy!'"

The concert's unusual name, "b*mod4", reflects the variety of the choreographers' work and the diversity of modern dance, Howard said.  "‘b*mod4' can have several meanings," she said. "Be modern, body modern, four modern choreographers... It's like modern dance itself, which often has multiple layers of meaning and challenges the viewer to find his or her own interpretation."

The concert marks a rebirth of sorts for OMDC, a group that has worked to support modern dance since 1980 but has been out of the public eye recently, Howard said.

"For the past several years, we've taken a break from producing concerts," she said.  "We'll have some absolutely electrifying dancers onstage – many of them trained in our own classes – and some with professional backgrounds in both modern and ballet."

 "b*mod4" is being presented with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and is open to the public. Tickets will be $15 for adults, and $12 for students and senior citizens. Reservations are available by calling 551.7473. For more information about the concert, send an e-mail to omdc@cox.net.

Omaha America's Walk for Diabetes Seeking Participants

Looking for a great opportunity to get involved in the UNO and Omaha Communities?

The Omaha America's Walk for Diabetes will be held Saturday, Sept. 23, at Lake Zorinsky, 156th and F St.

"Most of us have family and/or friends (or maybe even yourself) who are suffering with diabetes," said Suzanne Sollars, the UNO team organizer and an associate professor of psychology at UNO. "There are 20.8 million Americans with diabetes, approximately 97,000 in Nebraska. Diabetes is the largest healthcare expense in the United States. On average, every 21 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes."

To sign up as a team member, visit the Web at http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=4050 and follow the prompts listed below:
- Go to "Join a Team" and then search for the "UNO - University of Nebraska Omaha" team name;
- Select the team name, and "Join;" and
- Plug in your information. 

Family and friends not directly affiliated with UNO may also sign up under the UNO team name. There will be a party at the finish line with food and goody bags. Children are welcome at the walk and party.

"I hope you will consider joining the team.  Together, we can help increase the progress toward finding cause and cure for diabetes, and have a great time meeting other UNO students, faculty and staff!" Sollars said.

Monies raised will go toward the American Diabetes Association (ADA) research, education and advocacy programs.

For more information, contact Sollars at ssollars@mail.unomaha.edu.

Campus Security Offers Advice on Magazine Solicitors

Like clockwork, the fall semester begins, and magazine solicitors arrive at UNO. This year is no exception.

Campus Security encourages the UNO community to heed the following advice on how to deal with potential magazine solicitation scams.

The typical magazine solicitors are in their late teens or early twenties, both male and female, and blend in on college campuses. Some claim to be working on class projects for the UNO School of Communication, UNO Television or KVNO. Others claim to be working toward a scholarship, and some accurately represent themselves as magazine solicitors.

The Omaha City Code requires a solicitor to obtain a permit to solicit within the city limits, as well as permission to solicit on university property. Magazine solicitors rarely, if ever, have the necessary permit and, as of yet, have never been given permission to solicit on UNO property, said Paul Kosel, assistant manager of UNO security and traffic.

"In most cases, magazine subscription solicitors work as independent contractors or for contractors, but not for the company for whom they solicit," Kosel said. "The potential customer may or may not actually receive a magazine subscription and runs the risk of being scammed."

In some cases, although not yet at UNO, the solicitor uses the sales pitch as a pretense for criminal actions, Kosel said. At UNO, the solicitors can most frequently be found near the Milo Bail Student Center, University Library and student housing.

"I'd strongly encourage everyone at UNO not to speak with these solicitors and to contact Campus Security with a location and description of the individual," Kosel said.

Campus Security can be contacted at 554.2648.

Writing Center Satellite at University Library

University Library announces its partnership with the Writing Center to provide professional writing consultations at the library.

"We are continually striving to offer valuable services to UNO students," said Audrey DeFrank, director of Public Services. "This is a great opportunity for students to do their research and get writing assistance at one location in the library."

The Writing Center Satellite Desk is located on the main floor adjacent to the Reference Desk. No appointment is necessary, and writing consultants are available from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Sessions vary from 15 to 30 minutes, but will be limited to 15 minutes if others are waiting.

Carol Dillon, English faculty and Writing Center consultant, said, "Hopefully, students working on their papers, in the library, will find the Writing Center satellite convenient for quick questions about writing or documentation."

For more information about the Writing Center, visit the Web at http://www.unomaha.edu/writingcenter/ or contact the library's Reference Desk at 554.2661.

IPD Discussion Partners Sought

The program for International Professional Development (IPD) is once again looking for discussion partners for its student body of international business professionals. IPD is designed to give participants rigorous instruction in intensive English, as well as American business practice and ethics.

The discussion class provides this group with an opportunity to converse casually with native speakers on an array of topics. All students are high-intermediate to advanced speakers of English.

"Volunteering to be a discussion partner is an excellent way to learn about other cultures and languages, while at the same time serving as a cultural ambassador for Omaha and the United States," said Steven Hoiberg, IPD adviser. "It also makes for an outstanding and meaningful volunteering project."

There is currently one discussion class scheduled each week on Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon in 123 Roskens Hall. All are welcome, and interested participants can attend any class. Volunteer parking passes can also be arranged.

For more information, contact Hoiberg at shoiberg@unomaha.edu or 554.2293.

MavCard, the official identification card at UNO, replaces the university's previous photo ID cards. Beginning Friday, Sept. 8, only newly issued MavCards will work on campus. The newly designed MavCard features the NU ID number, which is used for various services across campus.

MavCard Services is located on the second floor of the Milo Bail Student Center.  Fall office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information, call 554.2100, or visit the Web at http://mavcard.unomaha.edu. For information about the NU ID, visit the Web at http://www.ses.unomaha.edu/registrar/nuid.php.

Remote Parking Available at Crossroads Mall

Remote parking for UNO students, faculty, staff and visitors is available at the Crossroads Mall parking structure from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday when classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters.

The Crossroads Mall parking structure is located at 72nd and Cass streets. Parking is only permitted on levels 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Vehicles that are parked illegally may be towed, without further notice, at the owner/operator's expense.

The shuttle bus service from the remote parking area is provided free of charge, and no parking permit is required.

Shuttle buses load and unload at the southwest corner of the Crossroads Mall parking structure approximately every 15 minutes. It stops in two locations: north of the Durham Science Center and north of the Milo Bail Student Center (MBSC). The shuttle buses return directly to Crossroads Mall after stopping at the MBSC.

The remote parking shuttles are marked to distinguish them from the shuttle buses that service the shuttle parking area on the south campus.

For more information, contact Campus Security at 554.2648.

New in the Library for Fall 2006

In order to more efficiently serve the campus community, University Library instituted the following changes Aug. 14.

NU ID Number
The UNO community will now use the new NU ID number from the MavCard for library services, both on-campus and remotely. Users should present their MavCard at the Circulation Desk to check out materials and will use their eight-digit NU ID number to access library resources from the library's Web site. MavCards can also be used to purchase copies from the library's photocopying and print centers. In accordance with campus policy, only new MavCard and NU I.D. numbers will be accepted in the library as of Sept. 8, 2006. Older cards will no longer be valid.

Renewal-Free Library Accounts
Currently enrolled/employed UNO students, faculty and staff are no longer required to renew their library registration each semester. Shortly after enrollment, students will be automatically entered into the Integrated Library System. Accounts are matched to current registrar and personnel data. "Needing to re-register every semester was too inconvenient, so we worked with ITS and the registrar's office to streamline the process," said Steve Shorb, dean of University Library.

E-mail Communication
Effective fall 2006, the library will exclusively use campus e-mail addresses (@mail.unomaha.edu) to communicate information regarding library accounts and related services.

Wireless Printin
Wireless printing is now available throughout the library. Visit the Reference Desk for assistance in setting up your laptop for printing to the Network Print Center. Only PC platforms are currently available.

For more information, contact the Library Circulation Desk at 554.3206.
