Students have 24 hours to show the world what life is like at UNL.
On Monday, Sept. 24, students can post to social media with #UNL24 to share their story as part of a project to tell the collective story of 24 hours of life at UNL.
A surge in social media posts and a new website curated from those posts will show the spirit and diversity of the Husker experience.
The entire UNL community – including alumni and friends - can share their story through social media like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook – if their posts are public – by including the hashtag #UNL24 in their post and via email at unl24@unl.edu. More information will soon be online at unl24.unl.edu.
The university will curate and present selected posts, photos and video content on the UNL24 website to give an indefinite life span to content shared during the 24 hours on Sept. 24.
