American Cancer Society on Campus
ACS on Campus at UNMC brings the fight against cancer directly to UNMC faculty, staff and students by fundraising, encouraging education, raising awareness, inspiring advocacy and celebrating survivorship.
The group's mission is to raise cancer awareness in our community through education, advocacy and prevention strategies, and to provide patient support to cancer patients.
Opportunities to Get Involved
Students have the opportunity to work with the various ACS programs and services to attack cancer from every angle:

- Creating healthy activity plans for local elementary schools.
- Calling on schools to ban tobacco and vape on campuses.
