For All New and Current CEC Building Partners and Employees

The CEC provides and simple orientation process for all UNO and community building partners to provide people and organizations with the best possible experience. This process also allows employees of new and current organizations to get building access as needed. To start this process please go through the following steps:

  1. Complete the New Resident Form online (new organization employees AND new employees of current building partners)
  2. Contact Heike Langdon at halangdon@unomaha.edu to schedule your orientation and welcome tour.

For New Community Organizations Only

Following the application process, accepted community organizations will need to provide documentation required to work on campus and go through an orientation process. This process is to ensure all community organizations have what they need as a new CEC building partner. This includes:

  • A signed lease agreement
  • Certificate of Insurance with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate naming the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska as an additional insured
  • Provide your organizational and employee information to obtain office and parking access across campus.

New organizations and their employees just moving into the building will receive an initial email with important information. If you do not receive this email, please contact Heike Langdon at halangdon@unomaha.edu.


Building Engagement and Events

Building partner organizations (those with office space in the CEC) and their employees are encouraged to attend internal events. These events allow networking with the campus and neighboring organizations and learning about important building and campus announcements.

If you plan to attend or have a suggestion, please email Heike Langdon at halangdon@unomaha.edu.

Meeting/Event Notifications and Calendar Invites

Meeting dates and times are promoted via email in the CEC Weekly Email and sent via calendar from unocec@unomaha.edu or directly from Heike Langdon.

Each person with access to the CEC is signed up to receive important updates and information via email communications. These email communications include:

CEC Weekly

This email goes out on Thursday or Friday of every week to a broad audience of building partner organizations, and individuals on campus.

The purpose of this email is to provide:

  • Engagement opportunities in building and on campus
  • Introduce new building partner organizations
  • Staff changes
  • Share information about building partner organizations
  • Events for Building Partners
  • Facility and Campus Announcements (with advanced notice)

For Community Consideration (FCC)

This email goes out on the third Wednesday of every month, promoting special and public events in the CEC that take place in the following month.

If you have a public event that is scheduled to take place in the CEC and wish to share this event with community members through FCC please contact Robyn Loos at rloos@unomaha.edu.

Important Facility Announcements and UNO Campus Emails

The CEC is required to communicate this information to building partners and their employees using the emails provided by each individual.

Email notices are sent as needed with varied information. CEC announcements to building partners and employees working in the building address specific updates and reminders for those working in the building. For example, previous emails have ranged from reminders to submit project reporting to a major campus update.

It is important that we have the correct and most updated email for anyone working in the CEC. To update your information, please contact Heike Langdon at halangdon@unomaha.edu.
