The following is an email from University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Director of Federal & Military Relations Chase Kratochvil to UNO faculty and staff:

Colleagues,

The Office of Military and Veteran Services is working to strengthen UNO’s military-connected community, and we need your help.

This fall, we are reaching out to identify faculty and staff who are currently serving, have served, or are part of a military family.

If that’s you, we’d be grateful if you’d consider voluntarily sharing your information through the brief survey linked below.

Take the Survey

This effort will help us:

  • Keep you informed about military-related events, resources, and initiatives
  • Create opportunities for mentorship and student support
  • Recognize the contributions of military-connected employees
  • Build a stronger, more visible network across campus

By sharing your connection, you’ll help create a more supportive experience for our military-connected students and ensure that UNO continues to be a campus where service is honored and supported.

In the spirit of connection, I would also like to extend an invitation to faculty and staff who are currently serving or who have previously served in the military to a pair of upcoming events:

🇺🇸 UNO Staff/Faculty Veterans Day Lunch

  • Tuesday, Nov. 11 from 11 A.M. to 1 P.M. in the Milo Bail Student Center Nebraska Room.
  • Attendees may come and go as they please.
  • Confirm your RSVP by Oct. 30.

Thank you for all you do to serve our university and our community.

Regards,

Chase Kratochvil
