This past school year, the Career Closet hosted four pop‑up shops, serving 518 UNO students and sending 1,952 clothing items to new homes — providing an estimated $38,850 in student savings.

We’re gearing up for next year and working to restock the Career Closet, May 28–29. View our high‑need items: https://bit.ly/4c6N8Aa

UNO Theatre took on Jesus Christ Superstar with a bold, modern twist — graffiti, guitar solos and a raw look at the story you thought you knew. Hear from a few of the UNO students who brought this rock‑opera retelling to life in UNO Magazine. https://bit.ly/42UmZ5y 🎸🎭

We asked alumni what their first job after graduation was and what it taught them. Here’s what Cortny Tyler, BBA 19, shared!

“I became a licensed stockbroker at Charles Schwab, and because of my internship, I was promoted into a specialist role. It taught me that at different phases of life, I’ll have to make sacrifices to prioritize what matters most. I also learned how important it is to be in an environment with the resources to support learning and development. I’m now a senior manager of the internship program at Schwab and work on nationwide strategy.”
