Student Leader of the Month - March Nominations

In order to recognize deserving student leaders, the Student Organizations and Leadership Programs office sponsors the Student Leader of the Month Award. If there is a student that you know of that you think would be a candidate for Student Leader of the Month, we would love to have you nominate them for this award. In order to nominate a student, follow this link http://studentorgs.unomaha.edu/forms/leader_of_the_month.phpto fill out the nomination form.

We will select one student a month at our staff meeting. The student will be presented with a certificate and a letter in a setting befitting their honor such as a club meeting or in class. Nominations will be held over for three months if we receive multiple nominations per month, to be considered again. You will be notified if your nominee is selected and we will set up the best time to present the award.

Color Me Human Banquet – Award your Member of the Year!

Each year, at the end of diversity week there's a Color Me Human banquet in which each student organization chooses a “Member of the Year” to be awarded at the ceremony. She needs the “Member of the Year’s”: student's name, email address, home address and student organization that they represent.

More info is to come! The event will take place April 19, 2013.

Student Government Elections & Involvement Opportunity!

Interested in joining an organization that helps initiate change on campus? Want to meet with administration and discuss ways to impact the UNO community? Then you should consider Student Government.

If you know someone who would be a great leader on campus, encourage them to seek out Student Government.

Applications are available on our website now (sguno.unomaha.edu/elections.php) but will close on Wednesday, February 13, at 11:59 p.m. Also, don't forget to vote for your college and class representative on Tuesday, March 5.
