- CFAM 20th Anniversary
The College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media (CFAM) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha has produced and performed an exciting array of accomplishments and events over the past 20 years - more than any other college at UNO which makes us the creative heart of campus.
"We are dedicated to inspiring the creative expression and cultural growth of all of our students. Art and Art History, Communication Studies, Journalism and Media Communication, Music, Theatre and Creative Writing all provide unmatched opportunities, skill development and meaningful experiences for every student while preparing them for their professional fields." Michael L. Hilt, Ph.D. Dean, CFAM
With over 5088 graduates since forming in 2005, CFAM continues to inspire students in the School of the Arts, School of Communication, and School of Music, including KVNO 90.7FM Classical Radio, and UNOTV in fostering, cultivating, and producing some of the best talent in Omaha and the nation.
The 2024-2025 academic year is one that is packed with special 20th anniversary events. We hope you can join us in celebrating by attending one or all of them.
