JOY / At its best, a university experience offers more than knowledge. It offers
connection, purpose and moments of joy that stay with us long after we
leave campus. For Mavericks, that joy often resurfaces in unexpected ways:
in a career that aligns with their values, in mentorship that shapes the next
generation or in the simple act of returning to a place that helped define who
they are. Sometimes, joy is less about the moment and more about the impact.
When we look closely, we see it — in the lives of students, in the stories of alumni
and in the ongoing relationship between UNO and the community it serves.
