Executive Team 2012-13 Applications - Due 4/25
The Big Event’s Executive Team is a great campus leadership opportunity. The Team enjoys unique challenges, successes and experiences. We encourage applications from anyone interested; half of our current team had no previous Big Event experience beyond volunteering. Please consider helping the University say thanks to Lincoln.
Applications are due in to the ASUN Office in the Nebraska Union at 4:00pm on April 25th. Applications can be found here: PDF Application.
What is The Big Event?
The Big Event, a national organization started at Texas A&M in 1982, aims to give back to local communities through one large day of service. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln more than 2,500 students, faculty, and staff are expected to volunteer and give thanks to Lincoln this spring as part of The Big Event. The organization is entirely student-run and funded by donations from the community.
Volunteering is easy
More than 150 groups volunteered last year alone! You can volunteer this year as an individual or as part of a group.
Online registration is now closed.
We look forward to working with you on April 21st. If you were unable to sign up this year we hope that you will look for us next spring. After individuals or groups sign up to volunteer, The Big Event staff will connect you with a volunteer site for the day. Volunteering through The Big Event is a great opportunity to serve in the Lincoln community without a long-term commitment. Find out more about volunteering as an individual or as part of a group now! Questions? Email us at thebigevent.unl@gmail.com.
The Motto
"One Big Day, One Big Thanks" guides The Big Event in showing its gratitude to the surrounding community through completing one day of service-oriented activities for neighbors and the community.
Core Values
The Big Event at UNL is based on the same core values as its predecessor at Texas A&M: service and unity. The Big Event views service broadly to encompass the needs of the community without respect to socioeconomic status. Additionally, community is not viewed simply as a place to live, but an opportunity to create meaningful relationships and give to something greater. One day is something that we can all take from our lives to give to those around us and build unity in our community.
