Dear Privateers,
Happy New Year!
We're excited to kick off another year with some great events! We're booking our St. Charles Avenue spot again for our popular Meet Us @ Mardi Gras gathering, and we're planning a new spring crawfish event plus meet & greets with Dr. Nicklow in New York and Washington, DC. And much more is coming. You can always see the latest at uno.edu/alumni or on our social media channels.
As always, thank you for your continued support of the UNO Alumni Association. You make us #UNOPROUD!

Johnson Etches Name Into Privateer History with 39 in OT Loss at HCU |

Johnson's 39 points are the most points scored by a Privateer since Jamie McNeily's 40 points against Denver, Johnson's former school, in 2007. >> READ MORE
