University of Nebraska Kearney

Welcome to the new-look Nebraskan Student Union – the heart of campus life and activity for UNK students, faculty, staff, alumni and guests.

The union is the main gathering spot on campus, a place where students connect with each other and the community. It’s one of the first locations future Lopers see when they arrive on campus and a building where students meet throughout their time here to enjoy a meal, grab a cup of coffee, study for that big exam or hang out with friends.

The University of Nebraska at Kearney ("UNK" or the "University") recognizes the importance of providing reasonable accommodations in its housing policies and practices where necessary for individuals with disabilities to use and enjoy University housing. Request for accommodation is made fewer than 60 days before the individual intends to move into University housing, UNK cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the individual’s accommodation needs during the first semester or term of occupancy.

The University of Nebraska Kearney Library was built in 1963 and named after professor of English Calvin T. Ryan. An addition to the library was completed in 1981-82 that doubled its size. Study and classroom seating accommodates over 1,100 library users. 

University of Nebraska Information Technology Services, a unified organization serving the NU system as well as the Kearney, Lincoln and Omaha campuses, is actively engaged in efforts related to COVID-19.  ITS works closely with campus planning teams to accommodate and support action plans as they take shape.
