Celebrating 20 Years of CFAM!

The College of Communication, Fine Arts and Media (CFAM) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha has produced and performed an exciting array of accomplishments and events over the past 20 years - more than any other college at UNO which makes us the creative heart of campus.

With over 5088 graduates since forming in 2005, CFAM continues to inspire students in the School of the Arts, School of Communication, and School of Music, including KVNO 90.7FM Classical Radio, and UNOTV in fostering, cultivating, and producing some of the best talent in Omaha and the nation.

The 2024-2025 academic year is one that is packed with special 20th anniversary events. We hope you can join us in celebrating by attending one or all of them.
