Why do you support UNO?

UNO alumni share why they give to UNO during Wear Black, Give Back.  

“As an alum, I participate in Wear Black, Give Back to show my support to all of UNO’s incredible and supportive scholarship programs. UNO helped me fund my college career, becoming a math teacher in the Omaha Public School District, where I can support my students just as my UNO professors supported me!”

“I'm proud to support UNO because of the incredible experience I had getting my education there, and the connections I continue to make. My participation in the Young Alumni Academy a year or so ago, led by Nathan Hankenson, left a lasting impression. His continued support and our friendship motivated me to give back and support his leadership of the program. Additionally, serving on the Recent Alumni Advisory Board for Dean Trawick at the College of Business and mentoring in the CBA Scholars Academy keeps me connected to the university and its future students.”

“Born on the south side of Omaha of not quite middle-class parents, I knew I would need a college degree to get ahead in this world. UNO gave me that opportunity. I'm proud to write that I rose to a director of reimbursement responsible for HCA Healthcare's Kansas City market. I'm proud to be a UNO College of Business Administration and School of Accounting alumni!”
