Being and working in the CEC gives Coalition Rx a sense of credibility. We have access to UNO students as future employees, campus office and meeting spaces that allow us to connect with campus resources, work on our growth and strategic planning, meet with supporters and other community groups we partner with, and a place where the community can attend our events and more for free. Since having office space in the CEC we have grown from 1 staff consisting of me to having 9 total staff with 2 full-time. Being here has helped us get 6 UNO student interns. The students have been helpful for our organization to grow. We can also connect with faculty experts, like Dr, Tara Bryan. She was helpful beyond words. Tara’s expertise guided Coalition Rx with long-term sustainability and operations within the last three years.
