Engaging in History
In the History Department at UNO, we sponsor a number of programs and events that offer our students, faculty, staff, and Omaha-area neighbors a chance to collaborate on research, exchange teaching methods, and engage with the public.
Events
The History Department holds several events each year that are free and open to the public and collaborates with partners across campus for other programming. Learn More.
Tell All the Truth Project
The “Tell All the Truth” project aims to increase understanding across economic, racial, and ethnic divides in the metropolitan community of Omaha by providing meaningful opportunities for collaborative truth-telling through diverse forms of literary expression informed by critical analysis of the nation’s intersectional histories.
Winchell Lecture
The Richard Dean Winchell Annual History Lecture Endowment fosters and supports the College of Arts and Sciences in its mission to enhance student, faculty, and community discourse on values and cultural heritage.
History Dual Enrollment Program
The History Dual Enrollment program encourages the placement of high school history and social studies teachers within our growing History master's degree program.
As our interest in public history continues to grow, there will be more opportunities in the future where the History Department engages with the community in the Omaha area.
As a citizen of our community, and as outlined in our mission, the UNO College of Arts and Sciences feels compelled to collaborate with our neighbors to make Omaha an even better place to live.
Whether we are helping young students develop a love for science, providing psychological services for those in need, or connecting diverse cultures within our community, the College of Arts and Sciences is committed to Omaha.
