There are tons of ways to get involved at UNO.
Joining organizations that complement your studies or appeal to your personal interests can enrich your college experience. Organizations on campus are created to suit the diverse interests of students that range from sports to academics to art and self-expression and beyond. They are a great way to get involved, make new connections, and share a common interest with your peers.
MavSYNC has pages full of information on each of UNO’s organizations. If you look through the list and don’t see one that appeals to your unique interests, you can create your own. If you are interested in a certain organization or starting your own, head to the Office of Student Activities on the first floor of the MBSC for more information.
