Description : Ljubljana offers it all - it is a lively and eventful capital city with a low cost of living and public transportation connections to neighboring cities and breathtaking natural landscapes. It is one of Europe's greenest and most livable cities, not to mention being a hub of culture and a major center of student life in Slovenia. With a thriving international student body, the amenities of a large city, and a low cost of living, the University of Ljubljana is the perfect match for students looking to go off the beaten path. A UNO professor has taught courses at the University of Ljubljana in recent years, in addition to student mobility in both directions. UNO sends and receives students from the University of Ljubljana through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : Valencia is the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona. It is known as the City of Arts and Sciences, and with museums, the cathedral quarter, Silk Exchange, Old Town, nature parks, and Mediterranean beaches, residents have plenty to do. Spain remains a favorite for study abroad, with Spanish being the leading language. Spain's unique medieval history, Mediterranean weather, lively cultural events, and delicious food and drink make it all the more appealing. UNO students study in Spanish (select courses in English) at the University of Valencia, one of the oldest universities in the western world and one of the top universities in Spain. UNO sends and receives students from University of Valencia through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : Basel can be found along the Swiss border where the French and German borders meet. It is full of museums and cultural interests, including some of the works of Erasmus - not to mention plenty of Erasmus students. Switzerland has four national languages. Basel is a multilingual and multicultural city where international students will feel welcome. UNO students study French or German at the University of Basel in Switzerland. Approximately a quarter of the University of Basel is composed of international students, and exchange students can take a wide variety of courses in French and German, some select undergraduate courses in English, and a range in English at the graduate level. UNO sends and receives students from the University of Basel through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : Kingston upon Hull, usually just called 'Hull,' is the UK City of Culture of 2017. This is due in no small part to the numerous museums and historical sites found around the city. English is the main language of the United Kingdom, making it an easy transition for English-speakers. The port city of Kingston upon Hull is home to the University of Hull, an excellent institution whose course catalog is offered entirely in English. UNO sends and receives students from the University of Hull through the MAUI-Utrecht Consortium, which was established in 1998 with UNO as a member institution.

Description : The Goodrich Scholarship Program -- in collaboration with CPACS, multiple departments at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), Metropolitan Community College, P4K, Omaha Public Schools (OPS), and local businesses throughout the Omaha community – is planning to host the Futures Fair, an event where diverse low-income education specialists create an environment where hundreds of 7th and 8th graders from P4K immerse themselves in activities that galvanize their interests and induce them into certain educational or academic habits that would facilitate their individual navigation of the often difficult road ahead to college or some other postsecondary institution. Support is both needed and critical for the continuation and growth of Goodrich’s Futures Fair partnership with P4K, UNO/CPACS and the community. Goodrich and P4K, with the assistance of CPACS and UNO, intend to continue to promote the accessibility of higher education to underserved middle school students through meaningful engagement that will create an immediate tangible opportunity for educational and employment exploration through the Futures Fair.
