Privateer Plunge takes place the first 6 weeks of classes.
2012 schedule coming in the summer!
We can’t possibly cover all the things you need to know to be a Privateer during orientation. Your transition to college is going to be exciting and challenging. Privateer Plunge will help you navigate the challenges and assist you in taking the plunge into UNO. Privateer Plunge is brought to you by the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Admissions. Privateer Plunge offers you an array of fun-filled and educational opportunities to help you understand the resources available to you and to meet other UNO students, faculty and administrators. Are you ready to take the plunge?!
Your Challenge -
During Privateer Plunge you will be expected to attend at least 12 events, three in each category, within your first six weeks at UNO. Each category is denoted by a color splash.

When you attend an event, sign in at the table that has the Privateer Plunge symbol. Once you sign in, your attendance will be noted and uploaded to our Privateer Plunge attendance system.
