What does a career in the nonprofit world look like? How does one get into it? What is available locally? A new campus event will answer these and other questions about careers in nonprofit organizations.

Meet the Nonprofits, presented by Career Services on April 2 from 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Ballroom, is targeted to students, but faculty and staff are welcome to attend. The event will provide insight into the working world of nonprofits and answer students’ specific career-related questions while connecting them with professionals from a variety of nonprofit organizations.

From providing direct service to a community, championing the arts, to working to solve global issues, this career path can be dynamic and rewarding. It is, however, less familiar to students than most careers, and traditional job fairs don’t always show them all of this path’s possibilities.

As nonprofits take on many forms and functions, students from all majors can benefit from this event. Unlike career fairs, suits and resumes are not expected at Meet the Nonprofits. Students can simply look forward to gaining practical career information and having some great conversations.

Contact Career Services at careerservices@unl.edu and 402-472-3145 for more information.
