3. Introducing seminars where students can learn about different career fields as well as options outside of four-year college (trade school, community college, etc.)
===Strategic Priority 3: Reviving student involvement through the restructuring of the presentation of opportunities for students===
''Project Leader: Joshua Oarhe''
Structured originally as a commuter campus for students who decided to go to college from home, the culture associated with the commuter nature of UNO persists to our current day. Now, UNO has many on-campus residence options for students looking to have the on-campus college experience. However, student involvement is drastically affected by the split nature of the residence of our campus. Many on-campus students that seek to have the associated experience seek out opportunities to join clubs, associations, and various types of organizations but find it difficult to find an environment within those clubs that has people as solidly committed to its purpose as they might be. the student organizations struggle to gain participation since many students have an off-campus perspective of UNO in which they attend class and return to their home. We seek to boost student involvement by presenting opportunities to become involved in a fast-working fashion that helps to meet the needs of both on-campus and off-campus students.
'''Potential Tactics'''
1. Structural redesign of the platform in which we present the list of student organizations and clubs to students that emphasizes providing dependable and relevant information that builds a proper image of the opportunities that lie within the organization
2. A continuous involvement center run by a campus representative or ambassador that acts as an easily-approachable source of information about the wide scope of student involvement opportunities and can act as a liaison that can connect searching students with readily accepting organizations
3. A renewed emphasis on the testimonials of students that are currently playing or have played a role in the organization to provide a student perspective of the worth and value of the experiences and memories that are gained from participating in this club
===Strategic Priority 4: Offering Peer Mentoring for First Year/Second Year Students===
''Project Leader: Jerome Thomas-Glass''
A lot of scholarships at UNO offer peer mentoring programs for their incoming students, but students who don’t have a scholarship program don’t have the same opportunity for a peer mentorship program . Those students face problems too with school, or life, and may need help as well, but not feel comfortable enough to go to a teacher or faculty member and talk about it. A peer mentorship program for those students who may not have one already through their scholarship program will have the same opportunity to get help and advice from older students who may have faced the same challenges as them. This will benefit those students causing them to be able to go through college more smoothly without the worry of not having anyone in their corner that they can talk to whenever they have a problem or concern.
'''Potential Tactics'''
1. Sending out forms to students asking them if they are a part of a peer mentoring program
2. Reaching out to students that we may know and letting them know of the opportunity
3. Asking upperclassmen To volunteer their time and come up with a program that will benefit both the mentor and mentee
