The cover for the Winter 2020 UNO Magazine, featuring a peacock with different animal tails for feathers.

The Winter 2020 issue of the award-winning UNO Magazine has been released and is currently arriving at the homes of UNO graduates across the country - and the world.

With the theme "Animal Tales," this issue features incredible stories of the work our alumni are pursuing personally and professionally, as well as ongoing research and community engagement efforts from our students, facutly and staff.

Whether it's the former history of Aksarben Village as the Ak-Sar-Ben Race Track, work being done by UNO biologists to uncover new species of dinosaur, or alumni making an impact at the Henry Doorly Zoo, it's a wild world full of Maverick Spirit.

Read the latest issue online, or download it in a PDF.
