Young Alumni Academy welcomes 7th class

The UNO Alumni Association in September welcomed the seventh class of its UNO Young Alumni Academy, a nationally recognized and award-winning leadership development program designed for alumni 35 and younger to facilitate networking and professional growth.

More than 40 young alumni have been accepted into the 2016-17 class. To date, more than 250 young alumni have competed the program since the academy was founded in 2010.

Members attend sessions held at unique locations on and off campus and this year will include a behind-the-scenes tour of Baxter Arena. UNO leaders also address members on topics such as athletics management, student focus and community engagement.
