Notes from Happy Half-Hours
Happy Half-Hours
With most of our network working remotely, this past quarter Co-Working Days shifted into monthly Happy Half-Hours. The spirit of Co-Working Days continued, though, as these events held via Zoom were a great opportunity to opportunity to meet peers, see what they are working on and get feedback. We checked in on each other and discussed cross-campus efforts like online commencement, safety measures and more. Thank you to everyone who joined and for supporting each other during this time.

Forward to Fall - What to Expect
Watch this video for more details on what to expect for the return of faculty/staff and students to our campus this fall. In it, we address several questions that you might have regarding your and the whole UNL community's safety.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has also created an online resource of COVID-19 signage options that departments and units can use as part of the return to on campus instruction for the fall semester. This Nebraska Today article includes the details of what signs are available, the process for installing as well as for ordering signs. This is an initial round of signage content and we will continue to add to the library as necessary and as content as new content is available.
If you have any questions regarding COVID-19 signage, as the article notes, please reach out directly to Carrie Hulsey-Greene.
