2022–2023 UNO Student President/Regent and Vice President Scholarships

Since 1983, the UNO Alumni Association has provided a Student Regent Leadership Award scholarship (now $3,000) to the student president. In 1997, the association began issuing a scholarship ($1,500) to the student vice president. To date, these scholarships have totaled nearly $90,000.

Tori Sims, 2022–2023 student body president and regent and Veronica Chapman, 2022–2023 student body vice president were sworn into office as UNO's next student representatives on Thursday, April 28.

"To broadly and briefly state my goals: support student leaders on campus; increase the transparency of student government and UNO in general for students; make student government and involvement elsewhere more accessible; continue to push for sustainability to be a priority at our campus; and advocate for student wants and needs," said Sims when asked what they hope to accomplish during their time in office.

Chapman shared, "When I look back on this year in office, I hope to have contributed to a more engaged student body that will further support our Student Government Association. This year, Student Government has transitioned to the Student Government Association, this transition will ensure accessibility and encourage students' voices to be heard on all topics. Through continuous support of our student agencies, an emphasis on advocacy and transparency, and prioritizing a more sustainable UNO, our campus will become more representative of the students it is there to support."

Sims serves as an ex-officio member of the UNO Alumni Association Board of Directors and reports on student affairs at its quarterly meetings. They meet with the chancellor and associate vice chancellor for academic and student affairs as the official representative of the student body. As regent, they also represent UNO students on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. The vice president assists the president/regent in coordinating visits and special requests by students. The vice president makes all appointments to university-wide committees and to the student senate.
