This Week in Campus History
The Gateway announced that the French troupe Theatre Du Nombre D'or, was scheduled to perform at the UNO Theatre on November 1. The tour of the French group was an effort by the French Ministry of External Relations to promote French theatre. The group was to perform "Les Precieuses Ridicules," a one act satire by 17th century French playwright Moliere.

welcome.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha will celebrate its 100th Anniversary beginning on October 8, 2008. This celebration will recognize the partnership among the City of Omaha, its citizens and UNO to build a vibrant, and dynamic community. The centennial theme will be UNO: Central To Our City Since 1908. This theme acknowledges the past contributions of UNO to the community and sets the stage for great things to come.
Welcome from John Christensen, PhD.
Chancellor
We are all privileged to be a part of this great institution as it celebrates 100 years of rich history and charts a course for an even brighter future. The Centennial theme, 'Central To Our City,' is truly representative of the mission of our metropolitan university. We look forward to joining all our civic, academic and corporate partners in making this celebration memorable. Several signature events are planned including a four-day campus-wide Centennial kick-off that coincides with Homecoming in October 2008 and a community-wide gala in February, 2009. In addition, we will all have an opportunity to participate is special college- and unit-specific events during the Centennial Year.
Deborah Smith-Howell is chairing the UNO100 Steering Committee and Task Force. We are looking for additional volunteers (follow this link for more information). Please join us in preparing for, and celebrating, the UNO Centennial!
