ELLC students

OMAHA – Fourteen first-year students will start college together this fall as members of the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community (ELLC).

Launched last fall, this two-year cohort program is designed to support and inspire students who are interested in innovation and entrepreneurship, regardless of their major.

Members live together in UNO’s Scott Village residence hall, complete entrepreneurship courses together, attend extracurricular activities and receive scholarship support thanks to generous donors.

The fall 2017 cohort includes the following Mavericks:

Name Hometown High School
Colten Adams Orchard, NE Creighton Community
Christina Becker Omaha, NE Millard West
Isabelle Brown Omaha, NE Mercy
Abigail Centarri Omaha, NE Omaha Central
Alexis Centarri Omaha, NE Omaha Central
Sofia Gonzalez Omaha, NE Omaha Central
Thomas Kienow Gretna, NE Gretna
Candido Morales Schuyler, NE Schuyler Central
Erica Pokorney Shelby, NE Shelby-Rising City
Taryn Rannals Yutan, NE Millard North
Makayla Rohrer Hickman, NE Norris
Alex Seigel Papillion, NE Bellevue West
Erik Tena Schuyler, NE Schuyler Central
James Van Eperen Omaha, NE Millard South

These new members will join other entrepreneurially driven students who started the ELLC program in fall 2016.

Over the last year, members of the inaugural cohort attended weekly meetings of UNO’s award-winning Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization, participated in networking events, toured local companies and visited Chicago to explore the city’s startup community — in addition to completing an entrepreneurial foundations course together.

To apply, candidates must show a record of innovative or entrepreneurial accomplishments and a desire to develop their skills, interests and connections in college.
