Happy Back-to-School, Privateers!
We are gearing up for a great fall semester, and we hope to see you all at one of our events soon! Don't forget...Homecoming Week is November 4-9.
Also, join us in welcoming our new Director of Alumni Engagement Nerolie Rayson. Nerolie has been with UNO for six years and most recently served as Director of Development Operations. She brings a wealth of higher education experience from her time here and at universities in Australia. Many of you know her already, but she is excited to get to know ALL of our amazing alumni soon!
As always, please contact us if we can be of any assistance. You make us #UNOPROUD!
