UNO's vision is to have sustainability an integral part of UNO's culture and identity. Students, faculty, staff, and administrators make decisions that are environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and financially feasible.
Student Organizations

Student Leadership
Student Workers within The Office of Sustainability
Student workers are at the heart of UNO's Office of Sustainability. Over the last couple of years, student workers have directly contributed to increasing the sustainability of our campus by managing and expanding our campus community garden to provide produce for our Maverick Food Pantry, developing and implementing our campus compost program, creating digital tools and resources related to a variety of sustainability topics available to the community, and managing our social media accounts.
Sustainability Internship Program
Are you interested in sustainability? Do you want or need an internship to graduate? UNO's Office of Sustainability works with students from multiple degree programs to develop exciting internship opportunities either directly with the office, or with a variety of community organizations.
Serve on Sustainability-Focused Working Groups
There are multiple campus working groups responsible for the development and implementation of programs and initiatives aimed at progressing UNO towards achieving our Sustainability Master Plan goals. These working groups are comprised of students, staff, faculty, and Omaha community partners.
