Who says moving can't be fun? Durango helped welcome students during Maverick Move-In.
At MavFEST, Mavericks were able to connect with student organizations, UNO departments, and community sponsors. The event also featured free food and fun.
Durango couldn't resist joining in on the fun at MavFEST.
Chancellor Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA, celebrated Durango Days alongside students, faculty, and staff.
Throughout the week, students enjoyed free fun, food, and entertainment in the Pep Bowl on UNO's Dodge Campus.
Maverick Productions (MavPro) sponsored "Movie Night in the Courtyard" where Mavericks watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and enjoyed ice cream from E-Creamery and popcorn.

A new school year means new opportunities, new connections, and new ways to show off your Maverick Spirit!
With another Durango Days in the books, it’s worth looking back and reflecting on an amazing first week of the Fall 2022 semester.
Whether it was Maverick Move-In, MavFEST, live mixes in the Pep Bowl from Alyssa and Mr. West of 106.9 FM, watching the classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” at MavPro "Movie Night in the Courtyard," or catching the Men's Soccer game at Caniglia Field, you showed up, had fun, and supercharged our campus’ energy!
In the weeks ahead we hope you’ll find your home away from home here at UNO.
