Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence at the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center
For the past 15 years, the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center (JGMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) has upheld the rich tradition of past UNL Culture Centers, serving as a welcoming space for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and guests. The JGMC fosters a sense of community by providing essential services, resources, and dedicated staff to support the diverse needs of the UNL community.
As part of our 15th anniversary celebration, we invite you to participate in JGMC Week, a special series of events and programs designed to promote engagement, learning, and personal growth. Whether attending interactive dialogues, open houses, or the OASIS Community Reunion, there is something for everyone to discover and experience.
Explore our website to learn more about JGMC Week, and we encourage you to visit the Jackie Gaughan Multicultural Center to celebrate this milestone with us! #AllAreWelcome
