Service Learning in Action!

Through UNO's Service Learning Academy, students at the UNO College of Business Administration are practicing their marketing skills. Through service learning, they have opportunities to develop websites, create social media content, contribute to branding projects, and more.

Service learning connects classroom learning with real-world challenges, giving students valuable professional experience while providing community partners with meaningful solutions to support their work.
