Toni Monette comes to UNO with a wealth of experience related to civic engagement, voter engagement, and volunteerism.
Monette graduated from UNO in May 2012 with a degree in Political Science and has worked in many positions aligning with civic engagement, coordination, and nonprofits. As an undergraduate student at UNO, Monette was a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. and actively participated in community service. She truly understands how civic engagement and service impact the overall student experience and competitive advantage.
In her role with the Office of Engagement, she will work with the campus, especially UNO students, to coordinate opportunities for civic engagement and volunteer service. She will lead important programming and events like UNO’s Signature Service Days, 60 minutes of service, and more.
We’re thrilled to have Toni Monette join the Office of Engagement as the Volunteer and Civic Engagement Coordinator. She brings great experience, knowledge, and enthusiasm to this new role. As a metropolitan university, UNO is obligated to connect our students to meaningful community service and civic engagement experiences that inspire them to participate actively in their communities. Toni is the ideal individual to lead these efforts.
Monette is currently on the board of the League of Women Voters U.S., serving as secretary and co-chairs, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee and is a member of the Advocacy and Litigation committee. Her extensive knowledge about voter engagement will be invaluable as UNO works to maintain strong student voter participation.
The next signature service day is MLK Day in January 2023. To receive information about Signature Service Days, volunteering opportunities/requests, as well as civic engagement opportunities, please email her at tmonette@unomaha.edu.
