The UNO Centennial Celebration is less than a year away. UNO was chartered on October 8, 1908 and the first students enrolled on September 14, 1909. The centennial will be celebrated beginning on Wednesday, October 8, 2008 and concluding no later than October 8, 2009.

The centennial celebration provides a unique opportunity to connect UNO’s past, present, and future. It is an opportunity to re-establish, as well as create connections to the university with alumni as well as corporate and community partners. However, the centennial, while honoring the past and celebrating the present, is primarily about the future. The centennial celebration allows a distinctive means for shaping the image of UNO for the future.

If your department, unit or organization is planning a unique project or event to celebrate the Centennial or is planning to incorporate the Centennial into a regular event or project such as an awards event or a banquet, the Centennial Committee wants to know about it. The Committee invites you to submit a project/event proposal.

Though the original deadline of December 7, 2007 has passed any later requests will be considered if funds are still available.
