Student Basic Needs Strategic Planning VISTA

The University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Social Mobility Pathways VISTA project seeks to increase the social mobility of our low‑income and first‑generation students through a holistic approach that supports basic needs, wellness, education, career readiness, volunteerism, and service learning. Although the focus is on our low‑income and first‑generation students, all students can be impacted. By providing opportunities and empowering our students to build social capital and knowledge, they will be better equipped for their futures, benefiting communities in Omaha.
