UNL's Combined Campaign helps community

It’s November and the 2019-2020 UNL Combined Campaign is open and ready for your consideration. Help support nonprofit health and human services agencies in the Lincoln area.

The Combined Campaign includes organizations under the United Way and Community Services Fund organizations. Once again, I am honored to have been appointed the College of Engineering’s representative for this campaign.

This year UNL’s theme is Invest in Lincoln, Improve Lives: 150 Years of Giving Back. Countless agencies provide life-sustaining support to people in need in our community.

Here are a few examples of how your support can benefit others:
