About the UYAA
“The UNO Young Alumni Academy was an incredible experience. I thought I was pretty connected to what was going on with the university, but I really wasn't aware of how much the campus had changed since I graduated. It was neat getting such a unique perspective (literally — the view from the bell tower is so cool!) on the university's programs and facilities, and I would recommend the UNO YAA experience to any graduate.”
