The Strength of Lopers, Together

Since 2021, One Day for UNK has been more than just a single-day fundraising event, it’s become a powerful tradition. For four years, the UNK community has united in a shared mission: to lift up students, strengthen campus life and ignite possibilities. Lopers from across the globe — alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends — have answered the call, proving time and again that every gift creates lasting change. And this year, we celebrate the FIFTH One Day for UNK.

This is what it means to be a Loper … and we’re just getting started.

“We have students experience unexpected situations during the year that often require some type of financial assistance, like the loss of a job or a medical emergency. The generosity of our donors to the Emergency Student Assistance Fund helps ensure these students can continue with their educational journey without adding any additional financial stress.”

– Brad Green, Associate Director, UNK Office of Financial Aid

“One Day for UNK supports our Loper Launch Enrichment Camps! The monetary support allowed us to purchase learning supplies and helped reduce the registration costs for students from low-income backgrounds. Thank you for allowing access to any children who want to come and learn on UNK’s campus!”

–Amy Nebesniak Ed.D., Director of Loper Launch Enrichment Camps

“One Day for UNK helped the university purchase a new mental health resource for UNK students called Togetherall. Togetherall is a peer-to-peer online support community that our students can access 24/7. Gifts made to the UNK Student Health Fund are actually helping save students’ lives because so many students are having significant thoughts of suicide and feeling alone.”

– Kiphany Hof, Associate Director, UNK Counseling
