Alumni Update
Since finishing the CPM program at UNO, I left the non-profit cultural organization I had been with for almost 11 years, and started my dream job. The Community Engagement Center is a home for twenty community and university-based groups, as well as space for any community organization to use for events from 4 people to over 200. My role is to create opportunities for partnering and interaction, and programming that improves the ability of non-profits to achieve their goals to improve our community. What this means in reality is that I have the fun of working with creative, exciting people who are passionate about positive change, and my job is to help find them the tools and ways to do this. Every day seems more open and exciting than the last.
I am certain that the CPM program was vital in the very competitive search for the position; I felt confident in presenting myself, and those hiring knew that I brought deep experience with non-profits, backed by the spectrum of subjects covered during the program.
