Celebrate Ivy Day With UNL Mortar Board
Support Mortar Board Today!
Celebrate 121 Years of Mortar Board at Nebraska!
For 121 years, the Black Masque Chapter of Mortar Board has been a home for University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s best and brightest — students who lead with integrity, serve their communities and excel in the classroom.
From honoring inspiring faculty and campus heroes through People Who Inspire and Professor of the Month to supporting the Team Jack Foundation, volunteering in local schools through Reading is Leading and helping host the iconic Ivy Day, Mortar Board’s impact stretches across campus and throughout the community.



Help Us Build a Sustainable Future
Each year, Mortar Board works hard to ensure its programs remain accessible and meaningful for every student — but the cost of traditions like Ivy Day and annual programming can fluctuate.
To keep these experiences strong for generations to come, we’re working to grow the UNL Mortar Board Endowment Fund to $150,000. Reaching this goal creates a stable funding model that covers yearly expenses, supports member activities and ensures no student is ever priced out of participating in Mortar Board.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
Every gift — large or small — helps sustain this 121-year legacy of leadership, service and scholarship at Nebraska. Whether you give once today or join as a monthly supporter, you’re investing directly in the students who make our campus extraordinary.
Help us honor 121 years of tradition and fuel the next 121.
Thank you for supporting the Black Masque Chapter of Mortar Board!
