Outside the Classroom Learning

Involvement in student organizations can provide positive social interaction, community service opportunities, and valuable real-world experience.

UNO Geography Club

The Geography Club is open to any student interested in geography, regardless of their major. Members are assessed a fee of $5.00 per semester. Members are then able to attend field trips, guest lectures, and other social events throughout the semester.

More serious geographers are encouraged to apply for acceptance into the Gamma Theta Upsilon National Honor Society.

Gamma Theta Upsilon is a geographic honor society in which applicants must meet certain academic requirements to be eligible for membership. The officers can provide more information for those interested.

The Geography Club faculty advisor is Rex Cammack, Ph.D.

Getting Involved Matters!

  1. It allows you to become connected to UNO. Our campus is full of resources, but the responsibility is on the student to seek them out. Being involved helps you to do that.

  2. It helps build community. Since you're leaving your family and sometimes your friends behind, getting involved helps your discover new friends with similar interests.

  3. It allows you to discover your passions and strengths. These will follow you all through life. It allows you to discover what you don't like, too.

  4. It's a résumé builder: Your first year is not too soon to begin thinking about positioning yourself for future employment.

  5. Sometimes, busier students do better in all areas. This will vary a lot by the student, of course, but more free time does not always equal better grades. Being involved will require some organization and time management on your part—and that's a good thing.
