A Message of Support From UNO Multicultural Affairs

Dear Mavericks,

We have been inspired by the innovative ways everyone have found to distantly gather during this time. Moreover, we are grateful for the regular updates from Chancellor Jeffrey Gold, M.D., and colleagues of the University of Nebraska system.

First and foremost, if you or anyone you know is in need of any additional assistance and support, please feel free to contact the Office of Multicultural Affairs—we are here to aid you in any way we can. If we aren’t the source, we’ll be your resource. Our goal is to continue to support students and our campus community.

Our office motto is "Supporting Everyone." During this time, we want to ensure each person feels safe and connected. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please email the designated staff member(s) below with your request. A Multicultural Affairs staff member will then reach out to schedule a Zoom appointment with you.
