Questions about the project

  • Are you or your UNL students providing public service for/with a community partner? (see definition of community partner below)
    • If yes, then it belongs on the map!
      • Examples of these projects include
        • Engage Lincoln
        • Medical Students United with Neighbors Across America
        • Dance Marathon
        • Board service for nonprofits
        • Volunteer projects that are not connected to courses or research projects, but affiliated with UNL

Do you have a community deliverable that doesn’t exactly match these examples like a podcast, website, practitioner or lay-person publication? We would love to showcase it on the Community Resources Database. Please fill out the following form: CRDB Survey
