The UNO English Department strives to enhance literacy and cultural understanding among university students as well as Omaha residents and nearby communities. Professors actively participate in the Service Learning Academy, local high schools, regional literary and cultural organizations, public speaking events, writing contests, various publishing platforms, and prestigious international programs like Fulbright and CLEPS.
Through our teaching, scholarship, creative work, and community service, the English Department at UNO plays a crucial role in advancing the university's core objectives: prioritizing student success, fostering academic distinction, and strengthening community ties.
Earning an English BA from UNO provides graduates with far more than literary appreciation. They emerge as civic leaders equipped with communication skills, cultural literacy, and persuasive abilities that serve diverse professions. Our alumni have not only analyzed data for tech and advertising companies but have also launched enterprises, participated in political movements, and contributed to educational, literary, and social initiatives throughout the community.
