Student Life Inclusion and Diversity Office
Our Mission
The UNMC Student Life, Inclusion and Diversity Office (SLIDO) creates a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture that connects people, fosters collaboration, and develops community partnerships. SLIDO advocates for excellence through the development and implementation of best practices, programs, and events that foster student engagement and success.
Student Organization Advisory and Preparation (SOAP) Council
The purpose of SOAP is to advise SLIDO, the Office of Community Engagement, and the UNMC Student Senate on what’s happening in the student organization space and to offer professional development and resources to student organization leaders. All registered student organizations are required to send one representative a month to attend SOAP Council meetings.
