First ever One Day for UNK is Oct. 6-7

Lopers everywhere are invited to participate in the inaugural University of Nebraska at Kearney giving day from noon to noon on Oct. 6-7.

A new addition to homecoming week, One Day for UNK: 24 Hours of Loper Giving is a virtual day of giving and engagement in support of UNK students, uniting Lopers from across the nation and world in their generosity.

Here’s how you can be a part of One Day for UNK:

“We have a tremendous base of Loper supporters who are going to embrace this annual tradition,” said Lucas Dart, vice president for UNK advancement. “And what’s special about One Day for UNK is that it’s not about how much someone gives. It’s about making an impact on the area they appreciate about UNK.”

Gifts to One Day for UNK can be made now through noon on Oct. 7.

When Lopers unite, great things will happen.
