Lina Traslaviña Stover is a Maverick in every sense of the word. The director of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions is passionate about higher education, and UNO’s mission to remove barriers and make education accessible makes her excited to come and work for students each and every day. She’s here to serve and to make sure that students know that UNO is a place they can call home. “At UNO, there is a place for everyone. When we say we are a metropolitan campus and we are inclusive, we’re not just saying pretty words. This is who we are,” she says.
She loves what UNO has to offer students. Lina believes strongly in the value of the many service learning opportunities provided on campus. Students here are engaged with the community in meaningful ways, and these classroom experiences translate to real-world skills and passions.
The passion she learned here as a student has translated well into her current role as director. “Seeing students that I work with in one way or another is so much fun. I helped them get to college, and look at them now! They are a professional!”
