UNL Offers TIME MANAGEMENT Workshops 

Did you know that that UNL offers academic success workshops to ALL undergraduate students for free?  The workshops cover a variety of topics including TIME MANAGEMENT – which Leslie and I believe to be the most consistently covered topic we discuss in our individual advising sessions.  If you need an extra push to help you become a better time manager – please consider attending one of these workshops:  http://success.unl.edu/current/workshops 

Other topics covered include:  “Note Taking,” “Procrastination & Motivation,” and “Test Prep and Test Taking.”

Game Day Reminder

For those of you not familiar with the university's pregame planning, football game days provide challenges in the security of buildings used for academic, research and business operations on City Campus. Many fans would like to use university facilities for breaks, restrooms or sightseeing.  Some even see the possibility of accessing our buildings as an opportunity to steal computers, etc. Common practice is that all buildings near the stadium are locked about three to five hours before kickoff. We ask your help in keeping the buildings on City Campus, particularly those close to Memorial Stadium or along the main walkways to the stadium, locked and secured. Please avoid using the building in the hours before kickoff and help us keep unauthorized people out. Thank you,  

Owen Yardley
Chief of Police
