Heritage Month Celebrations

  1. UNO
  2. Student Leadership, Involvement, and Inclusion
  3. Student Inclusion

Student Leadership, Involvement, and Inclusion (SLII) provides a safe space for diverse American Ethnic groups to commune together in a shared learning environment.

Located in the Milo Bail Student Center, we partner with UNO and other valued community partners to ensure a holistic educational experience.

Advisors and staff assist students as they navigate, define, and attain personal and educational goals. We welcome all students, faculty, and staff to the programs we host.

Student leaders, along with the support of advisors, plan events to highlight, educate, and enjoy the diverse ethnic groups we serve.
