As members of the UNO staff, we take great pride in our work supporting our university. Staff help foster an environment of learning and discovery for all. The Staff Advisory Council (SAC) is grateful for your collaboration and dedication to our students and our mission, and for that, we are here to celebrate you!
SAC is excited to announce the launch of our first Staff Appreciation Week (October 5th – 12th), a special week designed to honor the incredible commitment of our campus staff. We've planned a variety of fun and rejuvenating activities throughout the week, including a family friendly activity!
Event Highlights • Delicious Food: Enjoy complimentary meals and snacks throughout the week as a small token of our gratitude. • Wellness Offerings: Take a moment for yourself to enjoy a chair massage. • Social Gatherings: Reconnect with colleagues and make new friends during our daily social events, where you can unwind and enjoy some lighthearted fun.
This week wouldn’t be possible without the support of our wonderful partners: UNO Administration, Alumni Association, Human Resources, University of Nebraska Foundation, Sodexo and Omaha Athletics.
Mark your calendars and come celebrate! An overview of the week is accessible by clicking the button below.
