What’s new: The University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) Office of Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) has launched Share Your Success, a new submission platform designed to spotlight faculty accomplishments in research, scholarship, and creative activity on college and university storytelling platforms.

💡 Why it matters: Sharing research and creative activity successes help position UNO as an engine of innovation, supports faculty recognition, and boosts institutional visibility for rankings, grants, and media opportunities.

🔎 Zoom in: Eligible Share Your Success entries include:

  • Peer-reviewed journal articles and scholarly publications
  • Published books and book chapters
  • National and international awards or recognitions
  • Creative works (performing/fine/literary/digital arts, film, architecture, etc.)
  • Conference presentations

✅ How it works:

  • Once entries are submitted, they are reviewed by ORCA staff and shared with the Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications (MarComm) staff and college communicators.
  • Entries may be publicized on a wide array of platforms, including the UNO News Center, campus newsletters, social media, and news releases.

🎤 What they’re saying:

  • Phil He, Ph.D., Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs: “When we amplify the work of one faculty member, we raise the visibility of all faculty and the institution as a whole. Your success strengthens our academic community and reinforces UNO’s leadership in research, creativity, and impact.”
  • Sara A. Myers, Ph.D., Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Creative Activity: “UNO faculty are doing impactful, life-changing work every day. The Share Your Success platform is about making sure that work gets the attention and recognition it deserves. Whether it’s a national award, a published book, or a presentation at a major conference, these achievements demonstrate the depth and breadth of Maverick expertise.”

⚡ What’s next: Faculty are encouraged to submit their recent achievements using the Share Your Success platform year-round. Questions? Contact ORCA staff at unoorca@unomaha.edu.
