Outside the Classroom Learning

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

Alpha Kappa Delta

Our department maintains a chapter of Alpha Kappa Delta-the International Sociology Honors Society. Sociology majors and minors with a minimum GPA of 3.0 are invited for induction into AKD. The UNO chapter is very active, hosting several events during the academic year. The chapter also provides leadership opportunities for sociology students. More information on AKD is available through AKD student and faculty officers.

Student Anthropological Association

The Student Anthropological Association (SAA) is open to all UNO students with an interest in Anthropology. The SAA is both a social and academic organization, which meets regularly to talk "anthropology" and enjoy social interaction. The SAA brings speakers on anthropological topics to campus, hosts annual themed lunches (The Paleolithic Picnic and Picnic of the Americas), and works on community projects with an anthropological angle - such as our recent participation in building a traditional Plains earthlodge.

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: Freshman 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.
