Outside the Classroom Learning

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

Women's & Gender Studies Club

The Women’s & Gender Studies Club (WGS Club) is an informal student group that meets weekly. Students connect over discussions of popular culture, politics, and life on as well as off-campus.

For more information, please contact:

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.
