Student Government January Updates

Mavericks,

Student Government wishes everyone a very Happy New Year & a great start to the Spring semester. We are very excited to welcome all of our students back to campus!

As we start the semester, please keep in mind to take care of yourself. UNO has resources for you from the Writing Center to free Counseling & Psychological service sessions for students. Additionally, Student Government would love to hear from you on how we can better advocate for your concerns and questions on campus.

Elections!

This semester in particular is a very important and exciting semester for Student Government. This spring we will hold our annual elections for Student Body President/Regent, Student Body Vice President, as well as senators representing their colleges. If you are interested in running your own campaign and advocating for your fellow students, make sure to follow our updates to know when elections open!

SABC

The Student Activities Budget Commission (SABC) is a commission made up of students at large, student senators, faculty and staff to decide together and decide on student fees allocation to various student groups funded by Fund A. Those groups include Student Government and its agencies, Student Programming (Maverick Production), and the Student Newspaper (the Gateway).

Looking to make a difference on campus?

Join Student Government! We are looking for students to join our Election Commission. The Election Commission is a very important body and is charged with overseeing the Student Government elections. This group ensures accountability and fairness as the entire student body elects their representatives for the upcoming year. This is a great opportunity to gain leadership experience and professional development! To apply, use the Engage link below:
