Husker student orgs and how to find them
One of the most exciting parts of college is exploring your interests and finding your community. Luckily, Nebraska is home to hundreds of RSOs (that’s recognized student organizations) that you can dive into. Our list below is just a start. NvolveU is your hub for student orgs — find groups that interest you, view upcoming events and reach out to organization officers.
UNL Unified
Known officially as the UNL Unified Special Olympics College Club, this RSO’s mission is to bring together athletes of all abilities to connect through sports. The group plays a range of sports—Spikeball, bocce ball, basketball, flag football and more—but regardless of the game, participants find a tight-knit community.
Engineers without Borders
The university’s Engineers Without Borders chapter partners with communities to work on “environmentally sound and economically sustainable engineering projects” that have the power to improve the quality of life. Developing their own engineering skills in the process, Huskers have installed solar panels in schools in Kianjavato, Madagascar and raising funding to construct a bridge over a river in the Zimba district of Zambia that can become deadly during the rainy season.
NUTS
Nebraskans for the Upgraded Treatment of Squirrels is the perfect group for all who love our unofficial campus mascots. Outside of just appreciating our campus squirrels, the RSOs past projects include building squirrel feeders, raising awareness about campus wildlife and organizing social activities where anyone can come chat about improving the quality of life for campus squirrels.
